AMERICAN HISTORICAL PRINT, a highly stylized composition, titled "UNION", featuring important figures involved in the Compromise of 1850, arrayed in an idealized setting complete with symbolic figures and props, engraved by Henry S. Sadd (19th century) after the original by Tompkins Harrison Matteson (1813-1884), published by William Pate in New York. Housed under glass in a period gilt molded frame with original surface. Circa 1852. 22 1/4" x 28 1/4" sight, 25 1/2" x 31 1/2" OA. 
Catalogue Note: The present engraving was produced to commemorate the Compromise of 1850 and other legislative actions taken by the Congress in an effort to secure and strengthen the Union in the face of growing internal divisional pressures. Central political leaders Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, and Henry Clay are featured prominently along with many other ancillary figures. Matteson, the artist, employs a heavy dose of early Federal iconography within the composition in an attempt to validate the group's own, more recent legislative efforts. Liberty blesses the group from above, an eagle perches nearby, and all are oriented around a Classical-style bust of Washington while a glorious, shining future beckons us in the background. Interestingly, a later version of this print, published in 1861 by William Pate, replaces pro-secessionist individuals depicted in the original, such as John C. Calhoun, with updated pro-Union figures, notably Abraham Lincoln and William H. Seward.

Condition

Good condition overall with several spots of staining and foxing, the whole with minor expected all-over toning; frame with minor losses at the edges and possible minor restorations to the surface.
