United States Bank: A Tale of Political Quixotism and Financial Turmoil - From 'This is the house that Jack built' (1833 litho) depicting the bank's inception, to 'Political money changers' (1833 litho) and the 'kitchen cabinet' intrigues, the bank's charter renewal debates unfolded in 'A view of the bank mail on a trip to the Capitol' (1834 litho). Amidst scandals and investigations, such as 'Old Granite & Wises investigating committee chosen by secret ballot' (c), the bank faced challenges, leading to its eventual 'destruction in the harbor of Independence, Uncle Sam' (c. 1837 litho). Yet, the bank's journey continued, as seen in 'In a bad box' (c. 1837 litho), reflecting the complexities of American political finance during this era. (BUSN2A-00235)
