 Matted and Framed Cartoon Broadside. '75 Cents Treasury Note'. Printed on white paper. Image area approximately 17.5'' by 10''. Matted and framed in a simple brown wood frame, outside dimensions 23.5'' by 16.5'' matching the previous cartoon. Ready to hang. The style is a direct reference to the ''Great Loco foco Juggernaut'' note conceived by D.C. Johnston. Van Buren is a winged alligator or demon on the ''Juggernaut'' being pulled by ''Loco Focos'' with John Bull and Jackson in the rear. At the left is Jackson wearing an American Flag gown with the 'Veto' dagger in his belt. Under the juggernaut is Thomas Hart Benton as the dung beetle rolling the ball with the 1834 Globe quote. At the right is Jackson headed donkey with sack of 'mint Drops' and the Van Buren monkey, hat in hand.
Great imagery in this large form. Imprint on the bottom 'Printed and Published by H.R. Robinson, 52 Courtland Street New York'. Very choice condition from the face. Very scarce and one of few we have seen in two decades. Some scattered spots and minor repairs on close inspections. Overall Fine. Wonderful for display.
