Political
“LES PRESIDENTS DES ETATS-UNIS” Showing Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and John Quincy Adams
c. 1829, Printed Historic Textile, entitled “LES PRESIDENTS DES ETATS-UNIS,” French, Blue on White Cotton, 25.25” x 14”, About Very Fine.
This original printed Historical textile is very similar in style to “Threads of History” listed item Number 70, as found on page 78. Unlike that image, this is printed in blue on white cotton, displaying portraits of the first Six United States Presidents, including: Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe and John Quincy Adams in the fields. There is a central image of an American Heraldic Eagle with the legend below in French “LES PRESIDENTS DES ETATS-UNIS,” which complete the tapestry. There is some wrinkling with some fabric splits along the far left with a 1” hole in the field, away from any image and is otherwise very nice. A scarce, real collector’s item that is not listed in “Threads of History” and would be very nice to frame and placed on display.
