The likeness of Andrew Jackson comes second-handed from a 

 photograph of a portrait presented by Jackson to Mr. and Mrs. 

 Thomas Martin of Davidson County, Tennessee in December, 1814, 

 while they were in New Orleans. This portrait was regarded as 

 an excellent likeness of Jackson. 



The half-tone illustrations here presented were made by the 

 Capitol Engraving Co., of Nashville.
