EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Proceedings and address of the Constitutional Convention, c. 19th March 1861" offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history. Created by delegates from Clay and Platte Counties, Missouri, this print documents the nomination of delegates selected to attend a Missouri Convention focused on addressing the issue of secession. Measuring at an impressive 48.4x31 cm, this lithograph is part of the esteemed Gilder Lehrman Collection in New York, USA. Its significance lies not only in its historical context but also in its unique composition - printed on the opposite side is an advertisement dated March 19th, 1861 for stallion breeding services. The document itself reveals that this convention was not intended to amend or alter their constitution but rather to consider whether Missouri should immediately sever ties with the federal government. The printer's corrections are visible throughout, highlighting both the meticulous nature of its creation and potential revisions made during production. While time has taken its toll on this piece - evident through frail corners and areas of disintegration - it remains a powerful testament to one state's struggle with secession during a tumultuous period in American history. Calhoun & Johnson were responsible for printing both this broadside and the accompanying advertisement. Although their exact role may be unclear beyond their involvement as printers during that era, their contribution ensures that these proceedings continue to be preserved for future generations to study and reflect upon.
