It is intriguing that the example is on an alphabet plate. But then again, one doesn't probably think seal hunting is the best subject for a child's plate https://www.google.com/search?q=transfer+print+seal+killing&rlz=1C1SFXN_enUS534US535&espv=2&biw=1228&bih=857&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj2nKHpyKnKAhUJcj4KHWPjBa0Q_AUIBygC#tbm=isch&q=transfer+print+pottery+seal+hunting&imgrc=AYoaX0QqtFjqpM%3A

Subject: Re: Civil War soldier ceramic 

Hi Alix, 

I found a very similar pattern on the Transferware Collectors club database, ID#7595. Their description is as follows: "Plate, 5.12 inches. The pattern is part of a series that depicts soldiers and events from the American Civil War (1861-1865). It is illustrated in Shipkowitz 2002, p. 148 (Figure A29) on a 5 inch black printed plate. Page 148 includes many Civil War related patterns. Ulysses S. Grant (1822-1885) was the 18th President of the United States and the military commander of the Union Army during the Civil War and of the U.S. Army during the post-war Reconstruction period. To learn more about Civil War patterns, search for American Civil War or Civil Ware in the General Search of the database," with a reference to Shipkowitz, Davida and Irving. The ABC’s of ABC Ware. Atglen, Pennsylvania: Schiffer Publishing Ltd. 2002. 

This link may give you the example: http://www.transcollectorsclub.org/tware/img/ptn/7595_L_Grant.jpg 

Hope this helps! 

Best,
