EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, 1880. Farmer Garfield Cutting a Swath to the White House" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The lithograph poster by Currier & Ives showcases James Garfield, the Republican Party candidate for President in 1880. In this allegorical image, we see Garfield portrayed as a hardworking farmer standing in an expansive wheat field. With his trusty scythe and reaper at hand, he is determinedly cutting a path towards the prestigious White House. His strong presence and resolute expression symbolize his unwavering commitment to leading the nation. The late 19th-century setting adds authenticity and nostalgia to this artwork. Garbed in traditional attire with a beard, neckerchief, and rolled-up sleeves, Farmer Garfield embodies the values of rural America during that era. The artist skillfully incorporates elements of political satire into this cartoon-like caricature. A serpent slithers through the wheat field representing potential threats or challenges on his journey to presidency. This print captures not only an important chapter in American politics but also highlights Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives' renowned artistic style. Their collaboration produced iconic images that shaped public opinion during election campaigns. Granger Art on Demand presents this historical gem from their collection without any commercial use intentions. It serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and an educational tool for those interested in exploring our nation's past
