Date Created/Published: 1840.
Summary: A crude satire on the obstacles facing Van Buren's reelection effort in 1840. Weighed down by a large bundle labeled 'Sub Treasury,' Van Buren follows the lead of Andrew Jackson toward the White House. His way is blocked by barrels of 'Hard Cider' and log cabins, symbolizing the popular appeal of Harrison's candidacy. In the right distance the Capitol is visible, and in the left distance Van Buren's home at Kinderhook. A mischievous youth stands behind Van Buren thumbing his nose.
