Schlacht bey Neu-Orleans. General Jacksons Sieg uber die Britten. … [N.p, circa 1815] broadside, measuring 9 ½ x 6 ½ inches, some spotting and foxing, top and bottom edges trimmed close, else in very good condition. This broadside carries the text of a poem celebrating the victory of General Andrew Jackson at New Orleans in January of 1815. The text of the poem is in two columns, at the end of which there is an exhortation to break into a chorus of Yankee Doodle. The broadside also carries a woodcut device of an eagle and shield, the shield oddly enough is blazoned with an Irish harp, the eagle bears shamrocks in its beak. This unusual broadside, presumably of Pennsylvania origin, is apparently entirely unrecorded, it is unlisted in American Imprints, on OCLC, is not in the Brown University, John Hay catalog. The woodcut eagle does not appear in Reilly, Printer's Ornaments. Price: USD 1,750.00 other currencies   order no. 15924    inquire
