EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, 1828. One of the anti-Jackson Coffin Handbills" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases an advertisement that was widely circulated during the election campaign of 1828, targeting Andrew Jackson, who would later become the seventh President of the United States. The handbill itself is a powerful testament to the intense political climate of that era. It features a striking visual representation: an early casket adorned with text and symbols representing death and decay. This macabre imagery serves as a metaphor for what opponents believed Jackson's presidency would bring upon America. As we delve into this historical artifact, it becomes evident that this handbill was part of an aggressive canvassing strategy employed by Jackson's adversaries from the Democratic Party. Their aim was to dissuade voters from supporting him through fear-mongering tactics. This photograph offers us a glimpse into how political campaigns were conducted in those times - utilizing vivid visuals and emotionally charged messages to sway public opinion. It reminds us that even centuries ago, elections were fiercely contested battles where candidates faced relentless attacks on their character and policies. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York, this print allows us to reflect on our nation's past while appreciating how far we have come since then in terms of campaigning methods and political discourse.
