Dolley Madison Pillows

Description: This vintage comic book style design depicts an alternate version of the day during the War of 1812 when the British burned the White House just hours after first lady Dolley Madison had its valuables loaded onto wagons. This design answers the questions: What if Dolley Madison hadn't rejected her house manager's idea to blow up the White House when it was full of British troops? And what if the tornado that blew through Washington DC the next day had come early? Dolley is pictured here with two things she made sure escaped the White House that day: Gilbert Stuart's portrait of George Washington, and her pet macaw Polly—star of the Plodding Through The Presidents episode "Potty-Mouthed Parrots."
