Exceedingly Rare Andrew Jackson Engraving Upon Silk
c. 1830-40s, Andrew Jackson Engraving Printed Upon White Silk, Choice Near Mint.
This beautiful Oval Engraving is printed in black upon white silk and measures 4.75” x 8” (by sight). The engraving of General Andrew Jackson or "Old Hickory" is the first we have seen and offered, titled, “GENERAL JACKSON” at its base and professionally matted and framed to an overall size of 7.75” x 11.25” by “L.A. Bigelow, 42 Bromfield Street, Boston” within a turn of the 20th century black painted wooden frame. Its central image shows General Jackson in his military uniform, holding a early telescope in his left hand while riding his majestic horse. Some minor toning at the extreme outer edge of matting. Not examined out of the somewhat worn frame. A great looking historic image which we have dated based upon his age as shown. If you collect Silk Ribbons, this item should have you all aquiver! A most impressive Andrew Jackson Engraving upon Silk that is ready to hang on display.
