Description
Vintage lithograph print depicting the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland in July 1690. It shows Protestant King William III (William of Orange) on a white horse leading his troops to victory over the former King James II, a Catholic. The battle between the two claimants to the English, Scottish and Irish thrones was fought on the banks of the River Boyne near the town of Drogheda and is the best remembered of the Williamite War. James II was attempting, with the help of French and Irish Catholics, to regain the crown he had lost in 1688 but was defeated by William III's force of English, Dutch, Danes, Scots, French Huguenots and Irish Protestants and subsequently fled the country. The dying man being carried by others in the lower right of the picture is the veteran soldier the Duke of Schomberg, William's second-in-command, who was killed in the fighting. The battle is celebrated in Northern Ireland as a victory for the Protestant cause. Print circa 1865 by Major & Knapp from a painting by Benjamin West.

Description
Portrait print circa 1841 of William Henry Harrison. Harrison (1773 - 1841) was the ninth US President (1841), the oldest elected until Ronald Reagan in 1980, and the first to die in office. He died on his thirty-second day as President - the shortest tenure in American presidential history - and his death caused a brief constitutional crisis which ultimately resolved many issues about the Presidential succession. Prior to taking office Harrison was an army officer who gained national fame for leading US forces against American Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811. He was also a General in the War of 1812 and was victorious at the Battle of the Thames in 1813. Engraving by John Sartain (1808 - 1897), based on a painting by James Reid Lambdin (1807 - 1889).
