<b>1889 Benjamin Harrison Campaign Textile with Portrait of Washington, Choice Virtually Mint.</b>
22.5” x 22.5” brown, red, white and blue designs printed on one side of a cotton panel, folded and hemmed along the edges. Formerly part of the “Mastai Collection”--with red-stamped notation to that effect along the bottom right edge. Featuring large bust portraits circled by laurel wreaths of Washington and Benjamin Harrison. Washington’s portrait has the year “1789” printed above his head; Harrison’s has the year “1889” above. The rest of the print features a heraldic eagle perched on a red, white and blue shield, and two versions of the American flag--from 1789 and 1889. Lightly toned, and quite attractive!
