DAVID FULLARTON: THE PATHETIC PRESIDENT
December 8, 2011

David Fullarton just finished this illustration for Cincinnati Magazine, to accompany an article by New York Times op-ed columnist Gail Collins, about William Henry Harrison, the 9th President of the United States who hailed from Ohio.

“As a President he was a pretty sorry specimen, his claims to fame all pretty much amounting to spectacular non-achievements,” remarks David. “Firstly, he gave the longest inaugural speech in history, which would be bad enough, but unfortunately March 4, 1841, was a cold and wet day and Our William chose to wear neither overcoat nor hat. As a consequence, he developed both pneumonia and pleurisy shortly after and proceeded to drop dead exactly one month later. Which made his the Presidential term the shortest in history, coming in at 30 days, 12 hours, and 30 minutes. It also made him the only President never actually to move into the White House.”
