I've had this cardboard print about 20+ years I have no information on it,I've looked and looked,Surrender, General Grant surrendering to General Lee Appomattox court,the weird thing about this print is there is a round turn like a clock you can wind it up maybe at one time it may have had some words or music,the back has a gift from Glenn Gierhart,anybody know what this is or who made it.

Looks like a humorous mid-20th century take on the historic surrender, probably created by a southerner. You know, since it has Grant surrendering rather than Lee, ha ha. ;)
