EDITORS COMMENTS
This impressive woodcut proof from 1856 showcases J. Millard Fillmore's presidential campaign for the Native American Party, also known as the Know-Nothing Party. The design features a bust portrait of Fillmore encircled by allegorical figures of Justice and Liberty. Justice, depicted on the left, is shown wearing a classical gown and tiara while holding a large sword and scales, symbolizing her role in maintaining fairness and balance. Liberty, on the right, wears a classical gown and tiara as well, with a staff and Phrygian cap, representing freedom and the end of servitude. Atop the roundel, an eagle perches proudly, holding American flags in its talons. The eagle is a powerful symbol of the United States and its sovereignty. The roundel is surrounded by two distinct emblems: The Union on the left and bundled fasces on the right. The Union represents the unity and strength of the American people, while the fasces symbolize the power of the government to enforce laws and protect its citizens. The date "1856" is clearly visible at the bottom of the print, marking the year of Fillmore's presidential campaign. Millard Fillmore, who served as the 13th President of the United States from 1850 to 1853, was the first president to run for the office under the Native American Party banner. The party, which opposed immigration and sought to protect the rights of native-born Americans, gained significant support during the 1850s due to growing concerns over the increasing number of immigrants arriving in the United States. This powerful and evocative woodcut proof offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the time and the symbolism used to rally voters to a particular cause.
