EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "For president of the people, Zachary Taylor," showcases the campaign banner for the Whig presidential candidate, Zachary Taylor. Although Taylor had not yet been formally nominated by the Whigs until June 1848, his appeal to the American people was already evident as early as 1846. The print features a half-length portrait of Taylor, dressed in civilian attire, with his head in profile and arms folded across his chest. The portrait is framed by a wreath formed by two oak branches, symbolizing strength and endurance. Beneath the portrait, a thoughtful couplet reflects Taylor's independent stance: "About party creeds let party zealots fight / He can't be wrong whose life is in the right." This verse highlights Taylor's commitment to principled leadership and his refusal to be swayed by political factions. The print, which dates back to 1846, is a testament to the political climate of the time and the appeal of a candidate who stood apart from the party establishment. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the political aspirations and values of a man who would go on to become the 12th President of the United States. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of American political history or cartoons, providing a unique perspective on the presidential campaign of Zachary Taylor and the political landscape of the mid-19th century.
