Related Names:
Dacre, Henry, b. ca. 1820.
Robinson, Henry R., d. 1850.
Date Created/Published: 1839.
Summary: One of two prints by 'HD' (identified by Weitenkampf and others tentatively as Henry Dacre) based on incidents during President Van Buren's visit to the resort at Saratoga Springs, New York, during the summer of 1839. (See also 'The Meeting at Saratoga' no. 1839-4.) Although Van Buren is known to have stayed at Saratoga on his tour of New York State, it is not clear to what degree Dacre's scenes are imaginary or contrived for satirical effect. Here Martin Van Buren is snubbed by the widow of former political rival DeWitt Clinton. Van Buren says to Mrs. Clinton, 'Stay Madam, I would beg some words with you.' Mrs. Clinton, turning away, is asked by her companion, 'Mrs. C...... when he look'd so very Pleasant?' Mrs. Clinton's refusal to speak to Van Buren at Saratoga, President Jackson from visiting her, was widely reported in the New York press.
