Item Description
6.75" tall. c. 1802. Transfer features Jefferson flanked by doves w/poem below "Hail Columbia happy land, Hail ye patriotic band, Who late opposed oppressive laws, And now stand firm in freedom's cause, Rejoice for now the storm is gone, Columbia owns her chosen son, the rights of man shall be our boast, And Jefferson our favorite toast, Republicans behold your chief, He comes to give your fears relief, Now arm'd in Virtue firm and true, Looks for support to Heaven and you." The verse was a twist on the song "Hail, Columbia" originally written to celebrate Washington and Adams. This transfer was used for Washington, Jefferson and Madison w/the name replaced in each poem (see Arman p. 59). Other side has 16 star federal eagle w/15 interlinked rings each featuring state name. Restoration along top and bottom edges including some spout repair displaying Fine. Rex & Patti Stark Collection.
