A Mirror for Politicians: Moral Beauty of Consistency Illustrated by Sundry Extracts from the Leading Prints Now Engaged in Advocating the Election of General Jackson to the Presidency; An Anti-Jackson Campaign Broadside

An anti-Andrew Jackson campaign broadside published circa 1828, featuring woodcut illustrations and excerpts criticizing the inconsistency of journalists who initially opposed Jackson but later supported him. The broadside specifically targets Mordecai Manuel Noah, a prominent Jewish figure of the time, depicting him as a potential victim of Jackson's alleged retribution. This item is significant for being one of the earliest known American political cartoons featuring a prominent Jewish person and the president.
