Broadside, “First Message Of President Jackson To The Congress Of The United States,”19-3/4” x 25-1/2,” printed on silk and mounted on paper with some scattered tears and slight silk loss, mainly in the margins, but with a few text tears. Expertly matted, and protected with a mylar sheet. A very striking broadside cleverly places the title within the text of the speech. Evidently this broadside was intended for presentation to members of Congress, as it bears the printed inscription at the top "Respectfully inscribed to the Twenty-First Congress...By the Publisher." The text is Jackson's first State of the Union Message, of Dec. 8, 1829, and printed in January 1830. Any early broadsides printed on silk are very rare.
