EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Currier & Ives, titled "Grand banner of the radical democracy, for 1864" offers a glimpse into the political landscape of 19th century America. Created during a time of great division and change, this lithograph with watercolor showcases a campaign banner for presidential nominee John C. Fremont and his running mate John Cochrane. Fremont and Cochrane represented a faction of radical Democrats that primarily consisted of Germans and abolitionists. The central focus of the print is on bust portraits of the nominees, encased in roundels framed by oak leaves. These symbols are supported by two cornucopias representing abundance and prosperity, while an eagle holding a shield, streamer, and arrows stands proudly above them. The eagle appears against a backdrop featuring stars and rays of light streaming from behind a dark cloud - perhaps symbolizing hope amidst challenging times. Flanking the composition are two American flags, further emphasizing their patriotic message. This artwork not only captures the essence of political campaigning in the mid-19th century but also reflects broader themes such as immigration (with its emphasis on German support) and social reform (through its association with abolitionism). It serves as both an important historical artifact and an artistic representation that encapsulates the spirit of democracy in America during this period.
