WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON RARE AND DISTINCTIVE UNLISTED 1840 SILK FLAG.

Silk flag (banner) measures 23-1/2″ x 26″ and is custom framed(frame measures 33″ x 37″). Collins in Threads of History shows similar Harrison flags, however this unique example shows a much larger bust of Harrison with brighter colors. 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 (8,000-12,000) – Lot 2100
