EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures a piece of American political history with the iconic "Wide Awakes" marching cap from 1860. The Wide Awakes were a youth organization that supported Abraham Lincoln during his presidential campaign, known for their distinctive uniforms and caps. This particular cap is a symbol of the fervent patriotism and political activism that characterized the lead-up to the United States Civil War.
The design of this cap, with its bold colors and emblematic imagery, speaks to the passion and dedication of those who wore it in support of their candidate. As tensions escalated between North and South, these young men proudly donned their caps as they marched through city streets, rallying support for Lincoln's election.
In this image, we can almost hear the echoes of their footsteps as they paraded through town squares, waving banners and chanting slogans in support of their cause. The significance of this historical artifact is palpable, reminding us of a time when Americans were deeply divided yet fiercely committed to their beliefs.
As we gaze upon this piece of Americana captured by Don Troiani, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in our nation's history when politics was not just an abstract concept but a passionate call to action.
