Adalbert J. Volck (1828–1912) was a dentist, political cartoonist, and caricaturist born in Bavaria.[1] He was best known for his support of the Confederacy during the American Civil War, through his political cartoons (below),[2] smuggling items for the Confederate army, and personally assisting President Jefferson Davis by acting as a courier.[1] Volck lived in Baltimore and was a member of the Charcoal Club of Baltimore for whom he created a "ceremonial growler, or beer pitcher."[3]
Volck was also known for his work on porcelain restoration techniques in dentistry.
