Contact seller5-star sellerEtched with aquatinting. Excellent condition. Image size: 9 5/8 x 14 1/4 inches. Rare American political caricature from the famous 1828 race This is an interesting cartoon satirizing the paradoxical effect that negative attacks on Andrew Jackson were having in the famous campaign of 1828. An editor-publisher in Philadelphia nam…ed John Binns had published several harsh hand-outs called "coffin hand bills" that accused Jackson of arbitrary executions of American militia volunteers under his command and Native American prisoners, as well as violent episodes from Jackson's personal history. All this, though hardly altogether false, had the effect of increasing Jackson's popularity. It isn't clear whether the hand bills failed because they exaggerated Jackson's excesses or because an important portion of the population approved of the implied excesses, probably the latter. It was, of course, an all male electorate and fighting Indians was a recent if not immediate experience for much of white America. The cartoon shows Binns being crushed by the weight of the coffins, Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams, the other leading candidates, hanging on. Adams is holding the Presidential chair, soon to be lost to the military hero. Not in Murrell, A History of American Graphic Humor. Reilly, American Political Prints 1828 - 3; Weitenkampf, page 21.

Contact seller5-star sellerPolitical print, 9 3/4 x 14 1/4 inches, etching and aquatint, with watercolor, on wove paper, picturing "a satire on the reverse impact of John Binns's anti-Jackson 'coffin-handbill' campaign during the presidential race of 1828. Editor-publisher Binns supports on his back a large load of coffins, upon which are figures of Henry… Clay and incumbent President John Quincy Adams. Binns: 'I must have an extra dose of Treasury-pap, or down go the coffins Harry, for I feel faint already.' Clay: ' Hold on Johnny Q-for I find that the people are too much for us, and I'm sinking with jack and his coffins!' Adams (grasping the presidential chair): 'I'll hang on the Chair Harry, in spite of Coffin hand-bills, Harris's letter, Panama mission, or the wishes of the People.'" (American Social History Online). Attributed to Akin based on similarities with his known prints. Weitenkampf, p. 21. Not in Murrell's "History of American Graphic Humor." OCLC locates three copies (Indiana, Library of Congress, American Antiquarian Society). Some dust soiling, but a nice untrimmed example. (2592).
