Additional Details

Printed on rollers in a repeating 14-inch pattern, this textile depicts Andrew Jackson in a decorative border, described as "President of the United States from March 4th to ___", surrounded by slightly smaller portraits of his predecessors Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and Adams, the USS Constitution, and an eagle, all on a decorative cloud pattern. The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a much larger version with this textile repeating over a 93 x 87-inch coverlet (see Peck, American Quilts & Coverlets, page 218); other smaller surviving examples vary widely in size.
