EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Granger Art on Demand showcases a historic Democratic-Republican campaign poster from 1816. The poster ingeniously portrays the Federalist Party as a pro-British devil, cleverly utilizing allegory to convey its message. With meticulous engraving and attention to detail, the image depicts the Federalists with a royal crown atop their heads, symbolizing their perceived alignment with Great Britain. The visual centerpiece of this artwork is undoubtedly the devil figure representing the Federalists. Complete with an English tail and hoof, it embodies evil in its most cunning form. A wand held by this malevolent creature signifies its ability to manipulate and deceive. In contrast, Columbia - personifying America - stands proudly beside a ballot box adorned with symbols of democracy: an olive branch representing peace and a bald eagle signifying strength and freedom. This juxtaposition emphasizes the virtues associated with democratic values upheld by the Democratic-Republican Party. One cannot overlook the subtle yet significant inclusion of the Hartford Convention of 1814 within this composition. By referencing this event where New England Federalists met to discuss secession during wartime, it further highlights their alleged disloyalty towards America's interests. Overall, this remarkable campaign poster serves as both an advertisement for political canvassing and a powerful statement against federalism. Its historical significance lies not only in capturing early American politics but also in showcasing how art was employed as a means of political expression during that era.
