The Peoples Line - Take Care of the Locomotive, 1840

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodcut with watercolor print that captures a significant moment in American political history. In this artwork by the American School from the 19th century, we witness an intriguing scene involving Democrat president Martin Van Buren and his symbolic ride on "Uncle Sam's Cab". The composition showcases Van Buren driving Uncle Sam's Cab, which is being pulled by a blinkered horse onto Henry Clay, who had lost the Whig presidential nomination to William Henry Harrison. This event took place during a time when Harrison was celebrated as a war hero due to his log cabin and hard cider campaign. Notably, William Henry Harrison became the ninth President of the United States in 1841 but tragically passed away just one month into his term from pneumonia. His untimely death marked him as both the first president to die while in office and also resulted in him having the shortest tenure as President. This historic woodcut with watercolor print offers us a glimpse into an era filled with political rivalries and unique campaign strategies. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture pivotal moments in history and provide valuable insights into our past.
