Grand Virginia reel and scamperdown at the Whitehouse Washington' Another satire on Andrew Jackson's conflict with French king Louis Philippe over French reparations due the United States under the Treaty of 1831. The artist blames vice-president Van Buren for escalation of anti-French feeling in the Administration to the verge of war. In the centre Jackson, holding a sack of 25 million francs (the amount of French debt established by the treaty), dances to a tune played by 'First Fiddle' Van Buren and the Cabinet orchestra. Louis Philippe falls to the floor at left.
