William H. Harrison Lettersheet. Homemade campaign design with five different panels on lettersheet datelined "Pittsfield June 5th 1840" addressed to Hartford Conn., with transcript of impressive political letter and describing the production of
this unique design "…You may, perhaps, wonder how it is that I have so many log cabins. I will explain. A school mate has put his head with my head and to employ the leisure moments we may have to the best advantage we are going to publish,
weekly, a small whig paper about the size of this sheet of paper. The banner hoisted on the first page is the one under which we shall sail. The log cabins remind us of the unostentatious manner in which the modern Cincinnatius passes his life. As an
apology for the unfinished appearance of our pictures it is due to ourselves to say that they were made by us, who are ignorant of the art of engraving, with jack knives and what ever we could lay our hands on that best served our purpose. We hope to
be able to issue the first number next week. We have a great deal of trouble to get type…", Very Fine and impressive unique design.
Milgram No. WH-39; Estimate $500 - 750.
