Ribbon promoting Henry Clay for president, 1844. Printed silk. Unlisted in Sullivan-Fischer. Central portrait of Clay, "The Nation's Favorite," beneath female figure holding banner reading, LET THAT TALL BOY PASS. Below, Vulcan and his forge over quotation expressing opposition to repeal of protective tariff.
Superlative example with wide borders and only trace soil. Clay ribbons don't come much better.
