Large 2o (12½ x 15 3/8 in.). Top text in 5 columns. A LARGE, UNTRIMMED COPY, with deckle edges of the sheet preserved (bottom edges with small losses, browned).
STRIKING TESTIMONY TO ONE OF THE MOST BITTER PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS EVER FOUGHT. A striking, strongly graphic broadside, one of several similar circulated during the intense and bitter political contest of 1828, in which Jackson was accused of no less than adultery, murder and genocide. The existence of several broadsides -- textually similar but typographically different -- may be evidence of a coordinated attack on "Old Hickory," but may simply reflect strong local Anti-Jackson factions. Here, Jackson is tagged a murderer in the execution of 13 militiamen during the War of 1812 (in two separate incidents); and for the extermination of nearly 1,000 Indians in March 1814 and other Indian prisoners in 1818.
The text is printed within bold black borders; similar borders divide the text into blocks; one small woodcut shows a enraged Jackson stabbing an enemy in the streets of Nashville. At the top are six large coffins with the names of the executed militiamen; others coffins represent additional victims of the cruelty of "Old Hickory." For interesting variants see one in the Snider sale (21 June 2005, lot 147), and one in the William E. Simon sale (14 June 2005, lot 1053).
