Grand set to between rough and ready by Edward Williams Clay, 1799-1857. Published 1848. Zachary Taylor and Lewis Cass engage in a bout of fisticuffs in their battle for the presidency in 1848.

On the far right stands Henry Clay, who lost the Whig nomination to Taylor. His aside: As I couldnt get the match myself I am glad Old Rough and Re
