This print marks the death of Andrew Jackson, the seventh president, who died on June 8, 1845, at his Hermitage plantation near Nashville, Tennessee, after years of poor health. His passing drew wide notice, and printed tributes like this one circulated as the country mourned a figure who had dominated national politics for decades. The record dates the piece to July 15, 1845, and notes a Copyright Office entry, which suggests it was registered soon after publication. The maker's name appears only as an unverified mention on a catalog card, so that attribution should be treated with caution.
