10x13x24". Printed in Dutchess County, NY. Hide covered, wooden steamer trunk lined w/important Van Buren/Johnson broadside. Due to the ephemeral nature of broadsides, the historical relevance of the subject matter paled in comparison to its immediate usefulness. To that end, this wonderful accidental artifact was created. Trunk lid bears "MARTIN VAN BUREN" wrapping toward interior "RICHARD JOHNSON" over central eagle & shield flanked by electors. As lid curves, "FOR GOVERNOR/ WILLIAM L. MARCY" & "FOR LT. GOVERNOR/JOHN TRACY" Interior well continues "REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS" w/ description of Democratic Republican Convention. Shows obvious wear, most notably split dome, distressed leather trim, waterstains. Just VG. Opened for display, would create a standout focal piece.
