The below information comes from the Confederate Memorial Hall website...

"...This exhibit displays a segment of the U.S. flag torn down by Mumford, a set of silver spoons stolen by Butler, political cartoons of Butler and a rare lithograph of "Fleurs du Sud" (Flowers of the South). This artwork of an arrangement of strategically positioned flowers in the likeness of the Confederate First National flag was an attempt by New Orleanians to covertly display their patriotism within their Federally occupied city."
