Superb 1820 Pro-DeWitt Clinton Political Broadside

April 19, 1820, Printed Broadside promoting the New York Gubernatorial Campaign of DeWitt Clinton, 23" x 18.5," Large Folio, 1 page, Choice Extremely Fine.
This outstanding Broadsheet was published as an "Albany Register Extra," in the 1820 promotion of DeWitt Clinton's reelection bid. A follow-up to the April 18th piece published by the same paper and offered in a previous lot. There is some faint "ghosting" of the header print, where this large page was previously folded and laid together; otherwise it is very nice, bright and fresh with huge, full original selvage margins surrounding. The support of this newspaper, in issuing political Broadsheets like this, helped Dewitt Clinton quash the Daniel Tompkins insurgency and win his reelection.
