EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the 1840 Presidential campaign in a satirical and humorous manner. The Whig placards depicted here showcase the stark contrast between Democratic incumbent Martin Van Buren and Whig candidate William Henry Harrison. In this political cartoon, we see Van Buren savoring White House Champagne, symbolizing his elitist and aristocratic nature. However, his expression quickly changes to one of disgust as he grimaces at an ugly mug filled with log-cabin hard cider, which was favored by the common man and associated with Harrison. The image beautifully encapsulates the divide between the two candidates - Van Buren representing privilege and wealth while Harrison appeals to middle-class America. It serves as a powerful tool for canvassing during that time period, aiming to sway public opinion through satire and parody. As an artifact from American history, this placard offers us a glimpse into the political landscape of 1840. It serves as both a souvenir from that era and a reminder of how presidential campaigns have evolved over time. Overall, this print is not just an artistic creation but also a historical document that sheds light on important themes such as class divisions, political satire, and democratic values in early 19th-century America.
