Zachary Taylor: "Rough and Ready" Sarony & Major print (1846)

Print, a portrait of Gen. Zachary Taylor, "ROUGH and READY," 1846. Hand-colored small folio lithograph, published by Sarony & Major, New York, with stated 1846 copyright. Depicts Taylor in uniform on a Mexican War battlefield. Crisp, clean example with vivid color.

Clearly, the artist had never seen Taylor and used Napoleon as his model! Two years later, Taylor would be the Whig candidate for president, and prints such as this would be recycled as campaign posters.
