"The Grand National Caravan Heading East," an 1833 cartoon
satirizing Andrew Jackson. Jackson was the first candidate to campaign for
office publicly, which is here the object of general satire. The lithograph
also lampoons Jackson's Indian Removal policy
by depicting the happy Indian prisoners singing "Home! Sweet home!" as
the President carts them around in a campaign parade. Engraving by Hassan
Straightshanks, believed to be a psuedonym for David Claypool Johnston, the American
Cruikshank. Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, LC-USZ62-9646.
