Item Description
10x13" frame w/4.5x7.75" opening. 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. The widespread publication is considered the first mass political smear campaign. This example highlights "Edward Linsey" one of the men executed and features skull and cross bones at top and four winged angels at corners. Paper has only light age toning, otherwise extremely clean. Exc. Not examined out of frame. Rare.
