EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph poster takes us back to the presidential campaign of 1896, a pivotal moment in American history. The image showcases an important artifact from that era - a print bearing the full text of Democratic candidate William Jennings Bryan's iconic "Cross of Gold" speech. Delivered at the nominating convention, this powerful address resonated with many Americans during a time of economic uncertainty. The poster itself is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship prevalent in late 19th-century America. Its intricate design and attention to detail reflect the importance placed on political advertising even then. The bold typography draws viewers' attention to Bryan's words, emphasizing his message advocating for bimetallism ("16 to 1") as a solution to economic woes. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back in time, gaining insight into both political campaigns and societal values during the Progressive Era. It serves as a reminder of how far our nation has come since then while also highlighting enduring themes such as populism and party loyalty. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York, this lithograph poster not only captures an essential historical moment but also offers us glimpses into early American family life through its depiction of men engaged with politics. A true treasure for any history enthusiast or collector seeking authentic artifacts from our nation's past.
