#President Van Buren

[deadpresidents]

"Van Buren is as opposite to General Jackson as dung is to a diamond...He is what the English call a 'dandy.' When he enters the Senate chamber in the morning, he struts and swaggers like a crow in the gutter. He is laced up in corsets, such as women in town wear, and, if possible, tighter than the best of them. It would be difficult to say, from his personal appearance, whether he was a man or woman, but for his large...whiskers."

-- Congressman Davy Crockett of Tennessee, on then-Vice President Martin Van Buren, 1835

Since like 11* people on Instagram either commented or SU'd when I posted this in a story, this image proved compelling enough to share elsewhere.

This is a real video that you can watch here

I immediately had too many thoughts to keep to myself so these are my notes:

*it used to say 9 but then more people SU'd

I explored a bit through of one MVB's many HarpWeek tabs. I wanted to collect a lot of mvb animals but then I remembered post image limits and found that the process was taking far too long. Regardless, I've found a few rats for you, but they're not presidents and mostly in jumbles.

This is all I can help you with rat-wise. The first are rats lacking indicated identities. The second picture I believe to be the kitchen cabinet (Jackson's cabinet, not including van.) The 3rd is Levi Woodbury (in one he's being toyed with by Daniel Webster.) The 4th, which is uncropped because it's filled with animals, has MVB among other rats, though it's not indicated who they are.

Beyond that, the 3 mvb rats (/mice) I posted earlier are among other rats, as you know.

The first image "The Mountain in Labour," depicts mvb and Calhoun as mice.

The second image, "The Rats Leaving a Falling House," depicts John Eaton, John Branch, and Samuel Ingham as rats along with mvb.

The third, ".00001 ~ the value of a unit with four cyphers going before it" shows William T. Barry under Jackson's arm, along with John Eaton, John Branch, Samuel Ingham again, and a dog Calhoun scaring rat mvb. Someone is also labeled D.I.O. All the sites I check seem to not know who that is.

I'll spam mvb animals on Discord since I have to put them somewhere.
