Campaign Textile
This is roller printed cotton and it has a log cabin, cider barrel, and "HARRISON AND REFORM" printed on it. Whig candidate William Henry Harrison adopted the log cabin as a symbol of his rustic background in the 1840 presidential campaign. He defeated incumbent President Martin Van Buren, but died after just one month in office.
