Beautiful and quite rare, 1845 Andrew Jackson Silk Mourning Ribbon. This outstanding printed silk ribbon measures approx. 3" by 7 1/4" and features a bust portrait of Jackson at the top surrounded by Flags and surmounted by a spread wing eagle. The Ribbon also features an image of Jackson as a General directing an Army at the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812 along with Jackson's Tomb at The Hermitage.Text on the Ribbon reads "June 24th, 1845 / To Commemorate the Death of General Andrew Jackson / Born March 15th, 1767 / Died June 8th, 1845 / Aged 73 Years". There is also a quote from Andrew Jackson at the bottom of the Ribbon that reads "The Blessings of Government like the dews of Heaven, should descend alike on the rich and poor".
