Title
Portrayal of the loss of Democratic support for Martin Van Buren
Caption
Not a drum was heard nor a funeral note' The erosion of Democratic support for presidential hopeful Martin Van Buren (1782-1862) is portrayed as the funeral of 'the Kinderhook fox.' The print was deposited for copyright on May 22, 1844, one week before the Democratic National Convention squelched Van Buren's presidential ambitions by nominating James K. Polk. Former president Andrew Jackson and incumbent John Tyler, both of whom appear here, were instrumental in bringing about Van Buren's defeat.
