Item Description
15.75x17.75" frame. 8.5x11" image area. A charming campaign etching featuring a log cabin w/"Hard Cider Barrel" and cannon outside. In the foreground Harrison is greeting a one legged messenger.

Moderate handling wear and light overall toning, most notable are: a 1.5" vertical tear just left of center at top edge extending just to the end of the flag, .25" spot of brown stain in field right of the chimney and a light vertical fold at center.
