Lot of 12, all with large brown stains (water), scattered foxing, significant tears, or both, but some very rare 1840s political lithographs nonetheless. William Henry Harrison, Ninth President of the United States, N. Currier, 13.5 x 18.75 in. Hand-colored lithograph. 14 x 21.5 in. Political Cartoon, Loco-Foco Witches Laying a Spell over the Country. [98 Nassau St. - A. Donnelly] Five witches on one broom, with the lead witch smoking a pipe, the smoke plume reads "Veto." Although dressed in standard hats, dresses, etc. the faces appear male and were probably identifiable to anyone at the time. Rare cartoon poster. We do not find one in LOC. Two tears from right side, only one of which extends into the image. Lady and Moor, hand-colored lithograph. N. Currier. 10 x 12.5 in. Political cartoon, The Polka, a New National Dance Adopted by the Democratic Convention at Baltimore May 29th 1844. With caricatures of Calhoun, Tyler, Frelinghuysen, Clay, Johnson, Cass, Polk, Dallas, Jackson and Van Buren. New York: A. Donnelly. 14 x 20.5 in. Large "chunk" missing from right margin, not impacting print area. At the opening of the convention, the primary candidates were Van Buren, Lewis Cass, Richard Johnson James Buchanan John C. Calhoun, and Levi Woodbury. Polk emerged as the first dark horse candidate to win his party's nomination (in this case by a unanimous vote). 14 x 21 in. Political cartoon: The Oregon and Texas Question. N.Y.: A. Donnelly. A few short margin tears, not extending into the print area. Poster: Shall I Fight or Not? D.W. Kellogg & Co. Hand-colored lithograph showing a young man of just barely military service age, surrounded by family. He is not yet as tall as his mother, who stands behind him. Originally ca. 16.5 x 19 in. Poor condition with many tears and some missing paper from margins. Political cartoon: Man Worshiping in 1844. Lithograph, 14 x 20 in. New York: A. Donnelly. A few margin tears, none affecting print area. Political cartoon: Triumphal Entry into the White House after the Manner of the Ancients. Lithograph, 14 x 20 in. New York: A Donnelly. Several margin tears, one extending into print area. Poster: Death of Harrison, April 4 A.D. 1841. Hand-colored lithograph, New York: N. Currier. Pictured (in addition to Harrison) are Thomas Ewing, Secy. of Treas.; Daniel Webster, Secy. of State; Rev. Dr. Hawley; a niece and nephew; and F. Granger, Postmaster General. Water damage to short margins, with some minor loss of paper. The margins are wide enough, that they could be trimmed without any risk to print area. Poster recognizing the death of William Henry Harrison, untitled, 12 x 16 in. Washington (DC): P. Haas 1841. With silhouette of Harrison standing by window with heavy drapes (presumably the White House, the capitol is visible through the window. Below is a quote: "Sir, I wish you to understand the true principles of the government. I wish them carried out...I ask nothing more." With facsimilie signature "W.H. Harrison." Political poster: Grand National Union Banner for 1860. The Candidates and their Platform. 13.25 x 17.5 in. Hand-colored lithograph. New York: Currier & Ives, 1860. At top is an eagle with a banner: "Liberty and Union Now and Forever One and Inseparable No North No South No East No West Nothing but the Union." Standing on the stage and holding "The Constitution of the United States" are (on another banner) "Hon. John Bell of Tennessee for President / Hon. Edwd. Everett of Massachusetts for Vice President." and "The Union Must and Shall Be Preserved." This has some water stains and other minor discoloration at top, but no tears. Political poster: Henry Clay Nominated for Eleventh President of the United States. Hand-colored lithograph. New York: Kellogg & Thayer. 13.5 x 17.75 in. Waist-up portrait of Clay.
