Andrew Jackson's defense of New Orleans, fought on January 8, 1815, is the subject of this hand-colored lithograph, which N. Currier issued in New York in 1842. The battle came weeks after the Treaty of Ghent had ended the War of 1812, but news of the peace had not yet reached American forces, so Jackson's mixed force of militia, sailors, and regulars repulsed a major British assault on the city's approaches. The victory made Jackson a national hero and helped carry him toward the presidency. Printed nearly three decades later, the picture shows how vividly the battle remained in the public memory.
