Description of the flag

Commentary from Heritage Auctions: "Henry Clay: Wonderful Coon & Fox Campaign Flag. 29.25" x 26.75" silk flag, unlisted in Threads, titled "The Same Old Coon Henry Clay and Frelinghuysen". The central illustration features a cartoon of a Whig coon skinning a Democratic fox, suspended from a tree limb by the counterweight of a subtreasury strongbox. The United States Capitol appears in the background with a "Clay" flag flying overhead. The caption reads: "Martin Was Tried... And Found Guilty Of Sinning. The Coons Then Decreed To Give Him A Skinning"; c. Nov. 1844. His campaign was unsuccessful, he was defeated by James Polk. {Notes: "coon" is a shortened word for "racoon", "Whig" was a political party, and "Martin" refers to former U.S. Pres. Martin Van Buren.} (Photo credit: Heritage Auctions.]
