description

William Henry Harrison "Old Tippecanoe" became our ninth President in March, 1841 and died in April, 1841. This diminutive bust of President Harrison in his "General of the Army" uniform has a nautical format and may have served as a maquette for a ship's figurehead that was never executed.
