EDITORS COMMENTS
The Grand National Democratic banner, titled "Peace! Union! and Victory!", is a vibrant and historically significant colour lithograph from 1864. Created by renowned artists Currier and Ives, this campaign banner captures the essence of the American Civil War era. Depicting two prominent Democratic candidates, George B. McClellan and George H. Pendleton, this artwork represents a pivotal moment in American history when McClellan challenged President Abraham Lincoln for the presidency amidst the turmoil of war. The image showcases an array of powerful symbols that reflect the aspirations of the Democratic Party during this time. The presence of flags, eagles, and cornucopia symbolizes prosperity, unity, and abundance within America's industrial landscape. Notably similar to another campaign banner called "Grand National Union Banner" this print highlights both parties' desire for peace while emphasizing their own nominees. It serves as a visual representation of political ideologies during one of America's most challenging periods. This lithograph offers viewers a glimpse into the past with its detailed portrayal of politicians against a backdrop featuring factories and harbors—a testament to America's growing industrial might at that time. Preserved in private collection today but available through Fine Art Finder thanks to Bridgeman Images, this artwork stands as an enduring reminder of democracy in action during times of great adversity.
