No paypal on this item although pay payment plans are accepted.  The broadside measures 22 by 14 inches.  Rag paper encapsulated but can be easily removed.  Some edge tears at the top and chunk out of upper right hand corner.  Vertical fold which covers the entire broadside and three other horizonal folds.  Hole at the first vertical and horizonal fold affecting one word, "eyes". One separation one inch long at the vertical fold, not affecting the content.  Other edge tears and some mild chipping in one area.  This broadside presents well and the problems I have noted are not pronounced at all.
 
"Some Account of Some of the Bloody Deeds of General Jackson" reads the headline on this anti-Jacksonian propaganda. During the 1828 presidential campaign, this broadside condemned Andrew Jackson for being a bloodthirsty disciplinarian because he ordered the execution of six mutinous militiamen in 1813. It is one of several "coffin" broadsides printed by John Binns, a Republican newspaper editor who aggressively campaigned against Jackson. A woodcut scene at lower right portrays Jackson assaulting and stabbing Samuel Jackson "in the streets of Nashville.

This important broadside is rarely offered in the market and then in a an auction setting.
