Its title stages a prizefight between "Old Tip," the nickname William Henry Harrison earned at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811, and the "swell Dutcheman of Kinderhook," a jab at Martin Van Buren, who was born in Kinderhook, New York. The print appeared during the 1836 presidential campaign, and Edward Williams Clay, who signed the plate with a monogram, used this kind of mock-combat scene to ridicule party rivals. Other names in the record, Nicholas Biddle and Amos Kendall, tie the satire to the fights over the Bank of the United States and political patronage. H.R. Robinson printed it in New York in 1836.
