EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph campaign poster from 1872 showcases the Liberal Republican candidates for President and Vice President, Horace Greeley and Benjamin Gratz Brown. Created by Currier & Ives, renowned for their artistic prowess, this print captures the essence of a pivotal moment in American history. The poster is rich with symbolism that reflects the spirit of the times. A majestic bald eagle soars above, representing America's strength and freedom. The flag waves proudly in the background as a reminder of our nation's unity. Greeley and Brown stand side by side, exuding confidence and determination as they seek to lead the country forward. Greeley's iconic beard adds an air of wisdom to his portrait while Brown's glasses symbolize his keen insight into political matters. Columbia, personifying America itself, stands beside them holding a cornucopia overflowing with abundance - a promise of prosperity under their leadership. The intricate details on this lithograph are truly remarkable; every element has been meticulously crafted to convey meaning. From Nathaniel Merritt's plow symbolizing agricultural progress to James Jam Glass' allegorical representation of liberty through text ribbons fluttering around them - each component tells its own story. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, it serves as a testament to democracy in action during one of America's most contentious presidential campaigns. It reminds us that even amidst division and strife, leaders like Greeley and Brown emerged with hope for a brighter future.
