Description
Henry Clay: Terrific 1844 Cartoon. All the major players of American politics at the time are depicted on this 17.5" x 13" cartoon published in New York by Willis & Probst. It is titled: "The Polka, A New National Dance Adopted by the Democratic Convention at Baltimore, May 29th 1844." Jackson and Van Buren are the musicians. The dancers include Polk & Dallas, Cass, Richard Johnson, Tyler and Calhoun. Jackson compliments Van Buren by saying "By the Eternal, Matty, you beat Ole Bull!" Tyler tells Calhoun "How do you like this sort of thing John? This is what I call my Texas movement!" Clay & Frelinghuysen are bystanders who predict the dancers will fail to execute the difficult steps and break down. Backed with rice paper, thereby filling in some areas of loss to the border. Displays very nicely.Auction Info
