Jackson''s bust portrait in uniform appears on an oval medallion surrounded by cannon, flags and other military paraphernalia, and surmounted by an eagle. The print seems to be a campaign piece, issued probably during the 1832 presidential race rather than that of 1828, when Jackson was also a candidate. The Philadelphia lithographic firm of Childs & Inman existed only from late 1830 until early 1833. MEDIUM:1 print on wove paper: lithograph ; 12 x 9 cm.
