Matty taking his second bath in Salt River by H Bucholzer & James Baillie, circa 1844. Lithograph print on wove paper. A political cartoon satirising Van Buren's lack of support for his second attempt at Presidential re-election. Van Buren is shown as a fox being pulled into a salt river (representing failure), his tail ripped off and his footing being lost. Nearby, Andrew Jackson shouts that he predicted his 'friends' would support him in the end.
