Description
Henry Clay: 1844 Whig Convention "Mind Your Own Business" Ribbon. Approximately 3.25" x 9.25", framed under glass to an overall size of 3.75" x 10". A handsome ribbon featuring a central portrait Clay set below an eagle surrounded by symbols of commerce and set above a vignette of Clay behind a team of plow horses on his Ashland farm. Clay utilized his persona as the Farmer of Ashland to great political advantage, having learned from the success of W. H. Harrison's 1840 campaign, when the aristocratic Harrison was marketed with images of a log cabin and hard cider barrel. Clay's Ashland "farm" was in fact a lavish estate, and there is little likelihood he ever did any plowing there! The silk has uniformly toned; otherwise it is a beautiful design in very good condition.Auction Info
