Circa 1850 Historical Memorabilia; U.S. President Zachary Taylor Mourning Ribbon. Vibrant patriotic textile printed on waxed cotton cloth. Bold graphics include embossed Taylor portrait, eagle, and decoration with gold gilt hand embellishment. The colorful Flag appears to be a combination of a printed canton with hand watercolor painted red stripes. Printed text reads, "President Zachary Taylor. Born in 1784, Died July 9th 1850.". Also printed below the black funerary urn are the last words of the "venerable patriot". "I die--I am expecting the summons--I am ready to meet death--I have endeavoured faithfully to discharge my duty--I am sorry to leave my friends!" The vibrancy of this handsome piece of Presidential mourning memorablia contrasts in comparison with the more typical monochromatic nature of most mourning ribbons. Approximate size is 4" x 8".
