EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Republican button from the 1936 presidential campaign, endorsing Alfred Landon as the ideal candidate. The button's design is truly remarkable, featuring a sunflower motif that pays homage to Landon's home state of Kansas. In the center of this vibrant flower design, we see a portrait of Landon himself, exuding confidence and determination. The sunflower holds great significance in this context as it symbolizes Kansas - known as the Sunflower State - and serves as a powerful representation of Landon's roots and connection to his constituents. This artifact not only highlights the political landscape of that era but also reflects the pride and support for their chosen candidate. As an early form of advertising memorabilia, this button demonstrates how political campaigns utilized various mediums to reach voters during that time. It serves as a tangible piece of Americana history, showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail put into campaign materials back then. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York, this photograph captures both the artistic beauty and historical importance behind such artifacts. It offers us a glimpse into an era when canvassing for votes was done through physical objects like buttons rather than digital platforms we are accustomed to today. This image stands testament to our nation's rich political heritage while reminding us how far we have come in shaping our democracy over time.
