Hand-Colored Campaign Banner for the 1852 Whig Presidential Ticket — Featuring War Veteran Winfield Scott, Lithographed by Nathaniel Currier
1852 Presidential campaign banner entitled “Grand, National, Whig Banner”, featuring the jugate portraits of Presidential candidate Winfield Scott and his running mate William Graham. Lithograph printed by famed lithographer Nathaniel Currier is hand-colored in hues of yellow, blue, green and burgundy, reading “The People’s Choice for President & Vice President From 1853 to 1857″. The Scott-Graham ticket was the last from the Whig Party, which formed in contrast to Andrew Jackson’s policy of Indian removal and also in opposition to slavery. Lithograph measures 10″ x 14”. Uniform toning, light amount of dampstaining to right edge and small areas of foxing. Overall in very good condition with bright, bold colors. Sold for $1,180.
The following are some additional campaign banners we sold:
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.
1848 Presidential campaign banner for the anti-slavery Free Soil ticket, entitled ”Grand Democratic Free Soil Banner”. Banner features the jugate portraits of Presidential candidate and former President Martin Van Buren and his running mate Charles Francis Adams Sr. (son of John Quincy Adams and grandson of John Adams). Lithograph printed by famed lithographer Nathaniel Currier is hand-colored in shades of yellow, blue, teal and grey, reading ”Free Soil – Free Labor – Free Speech” at top. The Van Buren-Adams ticket was a faction of the Democratic party, opposed to slavery; it took enough votes away from the pro-slavery Democrats headed by Lewis Cass to swing the election to Whig Zachary Taylor. Lithograph measures 10” x 13.75”. Some toning and light dampstaining (more visible on verso), and a few small chips to edges. Overall in very good condition. A nice Presidential banner from the turbulent Presidential elections of the mid-19th century, with the issue of slavery front and center. Bidding starts at $3,500.
