Henry Clay,Whig presidential candidate,campaign,1844

Title: H. Clay
Related Names:
Whaites, Edward P.
Date Created/Published: 1844.
Summary: Another campaign portrait of Whig presidential candidate Henry Clay. In an oval frame, surrounded by an ornate floral wreath, is a bust-length portrait of Clay. Two books and a quill pen are visible over his shoulder at left; at right, behind a curtain, is the base of a column and, beyond that, the sky. Surmounting the oval is an eagle grasping an olive branch in one claw and arrows in the other, and holding a streamer in his beak. Below is a facsimile of Clay's signature. Like 'The Working Man' (no. 1844-3), the Library's impression is a proof (possibly a restrike) on paper from a plate engraved for printing campaign badges. Sullivan and Fisher reproduce a similar badge printed on silk (no. HC-47). In this state, Clay's head is surrounded by a faint halo indicating considerable reengraving of the plate.
