JOHN SARTAIN (PENNSYLVANIA, 1808-1897) AFTER JOHN B. NEAGLE (PENNSYLVANIA, 1796-1865) HENRY CLAY CAMPAIGN PORTRAIT PRINT, engraving on paper, mezzotint of Clay after the famous portrait by John Neagle, depicting Clay at his Kentucky estate "Ashland" surrounded by symbolic imagery. Matted under glass in a 19th-century (slightly later) walnut frame with ebonized detail and gilt liner. Circa 1843. 23 1/2" x 15 3/4" sight, 32 1/4" x 26" OA.
Catalogue Note: Henry Clay (1777-1852) was the Whig candidate for President in 1844, and this print, an effective example of political propaganda, has become the iconic image associated with Clay in our own historical lexicon. The original portrait was executed by John Neagle at Clay's estate "Ashland" in Kentucky and was commissioned by Clay and the Whig party in preparation for the 1844 campaign. Henry Clay was born in Hanover Co., Virginia but established himself professionally and politically in Kentucky, the American West of the time period. A lawyer, politician, and skilled orator who represented Kentucky in both the United States Senate and House of Representatives, Clay also served as Secretary of State from 1825-1829. He lost his campaigns for President in 1824, 1832, and 1844.Minor even toning. Crease, possibly a partial tear, running horizontally across the bottom of the image. Not examined out of frame.Condition
