SIZE: PROVENANCE: From the personal estate collection of John W. Armiger Jr. Heritage Auction Galleries, Lot 47014, May 22, 2010. CONDITION: Good overall with several tears and slight reductions, most prominent being 2" x 1/4" silver missing in portraits forehead, another 2" x 1/2" piece is missing at top of letters "TI" from "TIPPECANOE". Other minor reductions are seen. This is still a stunning, possibly unique example of the 1840 campaign. 49055-9 JS (8,000-12,000)
