The Scarcest of 19th Century Campaign Banners Hand-Colored by Currier and Ives — The John Bell and Edward Everett Jugate Banner Broadside for the 1860 Presidential Election
Scarce campaign broadside for John Bell and Edward Everett, the candidates for the Constitutional Union party in the 1860 Presidential campaign. Lithograph is the scarcest of 19th century Currier and Ives broadsides, hand-colored by the storied print makers, and with full margins not usually found on this broadside. Strong unionists who believed that slavery was protected by the U.S. Constitution, the candidacy of Bell and Everett split the southern vote, effectively giving the election to Abraham Lincoln. Their campaign banner reads at top, “Liberty and Union Now and Forever One and Inseparable / No North, No South, No East, No West, Nothing But the Union”. With Currier and Ives copyright in 1860 at bottom, which also reads, “Grand National Union Banner for 1860 / The Candidates and Their Platform”. The candidates’ names of John Bell, of Tennessee and Edward Everett of Massachusetts are also featured in the banner. Broadside is hand-colored by Currier and Ives, with unfaded rich, dark colors. Lithograph measures 13.5″ x 18″, with original borders. Expert restoration including rice paper backing, though no restoration to the coloring except to a small spot of scuffing just below the tassels between the red velvet curtains. Some foxing to margins. Overall in very good to near fine condition. Sold for $12,600.
The following are some additional campaign memorabilia we sold:

Alf “Land On” Washington Button for FDR’s 1936 Republican Challenger — Alf Landon — Near Fine
A beautiful example of one of the most collectible Presidential campaign buttons, the 1.25″ Alf Landon “Land On” Washington button for his 1936 campaign. This clever design shows Landon in a plane (capitalizing on the popularity of aviation at the time) about to descend on Washington, DC. Pin measures 1.25″ in diameter, with none of the usual foxing typically found on these buttons. With fully intact celluloid, in near fine condition. This is one of only approximately 50 examples of this button known to exist. Sold for $2,000.
