Title: The political dancing Jack: a holiday fift for sucking Whigs!!
Related Names:
Elton, Robert N.
Huestis & Co.
Date Created/Published: 1840.
Summary: A rare anti-Whig satire, giving a cynical view of the party's image-building and manipulation of candidate William Henry Harrison. Two influential Whigs, Senator Henry Clay (left) and Congressman Henry A. Wise, operate the strings of a 'dancing-jack' toy figure of Harrison in military uniform. This and 'The People's Line' (no. 1840-28) were issued anonymously. Their imprint gives two addresses used by publishers Huestis & Co. and Robert Elton during the 1840 campaign. Huestis and Elton issued two similar prints, 'A Hard Road to Hoe' and 'Uncle Sam's Pet Pups' (nos. 1840-26 and -29), probably designed by the same artist.
Notes:
Sold by Huestis & Co. and Robert Elton? at no. 104 Nassau, and No. 18 Division Streets, New-York.
