Title: The pedlar and his pack or The desperate effort, an over balance
Related Names:
Akin, James, ca. 1773-1846 , artist
Date Created/Published: 1828.
Summary: A satire on the reverse impact of John Binns's anti-Jackson 'coffin handbill' campaign during the presidential race of 1828. Editor-publisher Binns supports on his back a large load of coffins, upon which are figures of Henry Clay (left) and incumbent President John Quincy Adams (right). Binns: 'I must have an extra dose of Treasury-pap, or down go the Coffins Harry, for I feel faint already.' Clay: 'Hold on Jonny Q--for I find that the people are too much for us, and I'm sinking with Jack and his Coffins!' Adams (grasping the presidential chair): 'I'll hang on to the Chair Harry, in spite of Coffin hand-bills Harris's letter Panama mission or the wishes of the People.'
Notes:
The print may have been produced in Philadelphia by James Akin, judging from similarities in the handling of the aquatint, attenuation of the figures, and lettering to his 'Caucus Curs in Full Yell . . .' (no. 1824-2).
