Description
Caption: John C. Calhoun, vice president of the United States under John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson beginning in 1825, was the only vice president ever to have resigned until Vice President Spiro Agnew left office Wednesday. Calhoun, once considered Jackson's probable successor, quit after he won election to the Senate in 1832 following his break with Jackson. He was noted as a defender of state's rights against the Jacksonian concept of a strong central government.

The front and back of this photograph are pictured below.
