JACKSON, Andrew (1767-1837), President ]. Broadside: An Account of Some of the Bloody Deeds of General Jackson... , n.p., n.d. [1828]. 1 page, large folio, 618 x 472mm. (22 1/8 x 15 in.), A TALL COPY, the deckle edges of the sheet untrimmed, minor spotting. In a fine giltwood frame. A VICIOUS ATTACK ON THE CHARACTER OF THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE. One of several dramatic political broadsides produced during the bitter Presidential contest of 1828, in which Jackson was subjected to relentless mud-slinging attacks by supporters of his opponent, John Quincy Adams. None of these Anti-Jackson broadsides identify the printer or place of publication, and their close correspondence might suggest a coordinated campaign. Jackson is here accused of murder for the execution of 13 militiamen during the War of 1812, for fighting two duels in 1806 and 1818, the latter involving Thomas Hart Benton A letter from Benton, "now a member of the Senate," describing the "outrageous affray," is printed at the bottom. The text is printed within bold black borders; similar borders divide the text into blocks; one small woodcut shows Jackson stabbing a man in the streets of Nashville. At the top are six large coffins with the names of the executed militiamen; other coffins represent other supposed victims of the cruelty of "Old Hickory."
