EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant print captures the essence of American politics in the mid-19th century. The "Grand national Whig banner" is a colourful lithograph created by renowned artists Currier and Ives in 1848. This artwork served as a campaign banner for the Whig Party candidates during the national election of that year. The image prominently features two influential figures: Zachary Taylor, who would later become the 12th president of the United States, and his vice presidential running mate Millard Fillmore. Both men are depicted with determined expressions on their faces, symbolizing their commitment to leading America forward. The banner showcases various elements associated with political campaigns - flags waving proudly, an eagle soaring above representing freedom and strength, and portraits of these esteemed politicians. It also pays homage to Taylor's military background by including references to his army service. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece, they are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in American history. The print serves as a reminder of how political parties have long used visual imagery to rally support for their candidates. Presidential elections hold immense significance within any nation's democratic process, making this lithograph not only aesthetically pleasing but also culturally relevant. Its inclusion in private collections ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate and learn from our rich political heritage.
