Item Description
Like the preceding item, the artist for this piece is Taylor Jones, a renowned caricaturist whose work appears worldwide in newspapers and magazines. The button includes his facsimile signature and the date “2008” as this button was produced by Wendy Love during the campaign. This wonderful caricature of Obama as George Washington comes in an edition of 30 in the 3” size; however, this is the 6” size and reverse sticker designates it as #3 of only 5 made. A magnificent caricature capturing the optimism of the Obama campaign as well as the historical importance of his election as the first black American president. Severely limited to only 5 examples in this size. Mint.
