Brown, green, blue, and white glazed cotton roller print, approx. 22 x 24.5 in. Overall pattern with folk art equestrian portrait of Zachary Taylor and soldiers marching in front. The scene is vignetted within a pattern of a floral wreath of roses, rosebuds, and other flowers, broadly treated. Flowers and background are wood-blocked printed; the scenic motif was probably printed from a copper plate. The depiction of Taylor, which features him seated on his favorite charger, Whitey, is based on a description in Justin Smith's book, War With Mexico. 1848. See Collins, Threads of History, fig. 199. Condition: Perimeter has been professionally stitched to board. Overall, the textile remains in near excellent condition.
