"The major figures in American national politics in 1838 are gently satirized, each characterized as riding a favorite issue of 'hobbyhorse'." [Reilly].
Van Buren's horse is "Sub-Treasury." He calls it his "old Hickory nag." Henry Clay and Daniel Webster share the "United States Bank" hobbyhorse. Thomas Hart Benton rides the "Specie Currency." A glaring John C. Calhoun is on his "State Rights & Nullification" horse. In full military uniform, William Henry Harrison is on "Anti-Masonic." John Quincy Adams, riding "Ebony," says, "This horse, instead of being my Topaz, is my Ebony."
"Each makes remarks on the state of affairs" [Weitenkampf].
Reilly 1838-1. Weitenkampf 53. OCLC 299944539 [2- DLC, Clements], 1136569680 [1- AAS] as of December 2022. (Inventory #: 38953)
