Andrew Jackson: Important Large 1832 Broadside on Silk Dealing with South Carolina and Nullification. Jackson announces and explains his firm resolve to resist by whatever means necessary South Carolina's dramatic attempt to nullify federal law within their state boundaries. This was one of the most important political and constitutional crises in American history. The broadside is similar but not identical to a version listed by Collins in Threads of History, page 82, no. 79. No printer's identification at bottom. Basically excellent display condition. There is one trivial 2½" fine tear extending up from the bottom edge, and a tiny piece missing from the top edge near the upper right-hand corner, but otherwise this silk is in excellent condition, and free of the staining and soiling found on many items of this type. Fine creases from being stored folded, easily steamed out, are noted for accuracy. 16.5" x 22.5".
