EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic campaign banner for the Whig Party candidates in the national election of 1848. Lithographed and published by N. Currier at 152 Nassau St in New York, this Grand National Whig Banner encourages viewers to "press onward" with Zachary Taylor and his vice presidential running mate Millard Fillmore. The banner is strikingly similar to Currier's "Grand, National, Democratic Banner" differing only in candidate portraits, campaign mottos, lettering on the globe (omitting the word "France"), and the artist's portrayal of the eagle (reversed in this version). Measuring approximately 31.2 x 23 cm, this lithograph with watercolor showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that bring life to its patriotic imagery. It serves as a testament to political fervor during a significant era in American history. The image represents more than just a piece of artwork; it symbolizes an important moment when political parties vied for power through visually captivating banners like these. While not mentioning commercial use or any specific company associated with it, this print stands as a historical artifact that reflects both artistic skill and political messaging from that time period. Whether displayed as part of a collection or used for educational purposes, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into America's past elections while appreciating the craftsmanship behind such influential visual propaganda.
