1844 PRESIDENT ELECT JAMES K. POLK Currier Hand Colored Print Medium Folio RARE:
$175.00

This is an original antique 1844 hand colored print of United States President James K. Polk issued by N. Currier. This print is medium folio measuring about 13.75” x 10.25” and shows a standing view of Polk with the title “JAMES K. POLK – PRESIDENT ELECT OF THE UNITED STATES.” An 1844 copyright by N. Currier is printed below the portrait. I’ve seen this same Currier printed image with the caption “The People’s Candidate For President” and I believe this printed with the caption “President Elect Of The United States” was issued after Polk won the election and before he took office.

The print has some toning from age and some staining which is most pronounced on the back of the print. The staining is visible on the front of the print mostly on the margins but doesn’t show nearly as much as on the back. Overall condition is good inspite of some staining and this original 1844 print still looks good. Email any questions. Thanks for looking.
