EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph campaign poster from 1872 showcases the Republican candidates for President and Vice President, Ulysses S. Grant and Henry Wilson. Created by Currier & Ives, renowned for their iconic prints, this piece titled "The Working-Man's Banner" captures the essence of American politics during that era. In the center of the composition stands General Ulysses S. Grant, his strong presence emanating from his stern expression and neatly trimmed beard. To his right is Henry Wilson, exuding confidence as he gazes into the distance with determination. The two men are depicted in full-length portraits against a backdrop of an American flag proudly waving in the wind. Surrounding them are symbols representing their connection to the working class: a hammer and an apron symbolizing laborers' trades such as blacksmiths or tanners. A bald eagle perched atop a shield bearing a crest adds patriotic flair to this political advertisement. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element has been carefully crafted to convey strength, unity, and pride in America's industrial progress. From Grant's military uniform to Wilson's simple shirt sleeves rolled up like a true craftsman, this print highlights their dedication towards improving conditions for workers across America. "The Working-Man's Banner" serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact capturing a pivotal moment in American politics when Republicans sought support from blue-collar workers striving for better lives through economic growth and opportunity.
