Figure 36 Pitcher sherds, England, 1840. Whiteware. These fragments of a small pitcher, made for Harrison’s “Log Cabin” campaign, were found in a well associated with a doctor’s office (among the other artifacts were tongue depressors, syringes, and eyeglasses). Only a few pieces were found, but they include a portion of the base with part of the mark “Manufactured for Robt H. Miller, Alexandria DC.” The log cabin depicted in the overglaze green transfer print has a sign on it that reads “to let in 1841,” the year Harrison went to the White House. On the reverse is a portrait of Harrison and the motto “harrison and reform.” Under the spout is an eagle holding a scroll bearing the motto “union for the sake of the union.” |
