Title: Grand match between the Kinderhook poney and the Ohio ploughman Related Names: Clay, Edward Williams, 1799-1857. Robinson, Henry R., d. 1850. Date Created/Published: New-York : Published by the proprietor H.R. Robinson, 1836. Summary: A satire on the presidential contest of 1836, using the metaphor of a billiards game between Whig candidate William Henry Harrison (left) and Democrat Martin Van Buren. The artist is clearly on the side of Harrison, whom he places beneath a portrait of George Washington, in opposition to Van Buren's perceived mentor and champion Andrew Jackson who stands at the far end of the table, below a painting of Napoleon. Behind the table stand Whig Senators Daniel Webster and Henry Clay, arm-in-arm near Harrison. Next to Van Buren (holding a cue) stands a sixth man, either Secretary of the Treasury Levi Woodbury or (as Weitenkampf suggests) Van Buren ally Senator Thomas Hart Benton. Harrison: 'Now for a six stroke.' Webster: 'Now's your chance Harrison. There is a tide in the affairs of men as Shakespear says.' Clay: 'I'll go a cool Hundred Harrison wins the game.' Sixth man: 'I'll bet a cookie he don't make the hazzard.' Jackson (holding what appears to be a bridge): 'By the Eternal! Martin if Harrison holes you and gets a spot ball on the deep red it is all day with you.' Van Buren: 'He's more likely to hole himself General!' Notes: Entered . . . 1836 by H.R. Robinson. Published April 1836, by the proprietor H.R. Robinson, 48 Cortlandt St. New-York. Signed with monogram: C (Edward Williams Clay). Title appears as it is written on the item. Weitenkampf, p. 44.
