Life & Legacy
Adalbert J. Volck (1828–1912) was a dentist, political cartoonist, and caricaturist. Born in Augsburg, Bavaria, he resided for most of his life in Baltimore, Maryland. A dentist by profession, Volck is best known for his support of the Confederacy during the American Civil War through his political cartoons, which has led him to be described as "the Northern art world's most famous Confederate sympathizer." Volck's support for the Confederacy extended beyond his cartoons, including smuggling items for the Confederate army, and acting as a personal courier for President Jefferson Davis.
