[POLITICS] -- [CLAY, Henry (1777-1852)]. ROBINSON, Henry R. (?-1850), publisher. The Available Party Trying to Get Their Villany Endorsed by the Very Man They Have Assassinated.

Lithograph with hand-coloring, 1848, image 15 3/8 x 10 in. (15 13/16 x 11 in. sheet), some soil, upper edge uneven, short marginal tears with neat repairs, framed to 21 1/2 x 16 1/2 in., not examined out of frame.

A political cartoon from the 1848 presidential election lambasting the Whig party on their choice of their candidate based on public image rather than on principle when they nominated the popular Mexican War hero General Zachary Taylor over the party stalwart Henry Clay.

Here Clay is seated while William V. Brady, former mayor of New York City, Kentucky Senator John J. Crittenden, and James Watson Webb, the publisher of the New York Courier & Enquirer, implore Clay to endorse Taylor as the Whig candidate. Webb holds the endorsement which reads: "MR. CLAY, we have called on you to humbly request that you will state to your Friends, that you approve of the Philadelphia Convention, and that you Endorse General Taylor as a good Whig."

Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
