Item Description
15.25x25". In 1815 as a General, Jackson allowed the execution of six militia men after a court martial for disobeying orders. Newspapers in support of John Adams seized on this incident during the 1828 campaign creating several varieties of posters and handbills portraying Jackson as a murderer. This the largest variety and is two sided. Near complete separation at center fold repaired on reverse, a less than 1" dia. hole at top center, areas of loss in the margins and heavy handling wear. Just Good. Given the passage of 190 years since its publication and the fragile paper it was printed on this is an amazing survivor and one of less than ten known to us. The widespread publication is considered the first mass political smear campaign.
