EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a Grand National Union banner from the pivotal election year of 1864. The banner, emblazoned with the slogan "Liberty, Union and Victory," proudly showcases the Republican Party's presidential nominees, Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. The design reveals a drawn curtain, unveiling roundel portraits of the candidates, framed in oak leaves. Above their images stands a majestic Temple of Liberty, symbolizing the ideals of freedom and democracy. The temple's dome is adorned with an eagle, a powerful representation of the United States, holding a banderole in its beak and arrows in its talons. Rays of light, ending in stars, radiate from the temple, signifying the hope and optimism that the country would experience under Lincoln's continued leadership. A vignette below the portraits illustrates a peaceful scene of a man plowing his land with a team of horses, surrounded by farm buildings. This idyllic image underscores the promise of peace and prosperity that the election of Lincoln would bring. The scene is further emphasized by cornucopias on either side, overflowing with fruit, representing the abundance and prosperity that the nation would enjoy. This print, created around 1864, is a testament to the deep-rooted belief in the power of unity and the promise of a better future for the United States under the leadership of Lincoln and Johnson. The intricate details and symbolism in the design make it an essential piece of American political history.
