EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1840 campaign cartoon captures the intensity and drama of the presidential race between William Henry Harrison and Martin van Buren. The print showcases a powerful locomotive, symbolizing Harrison's campaign, with his head boldly leading the charge towards Van Buren. In contrast, Van Buren's cab has broken down over treacherous Clay rocks, alluding to his opponent Henry Clay's influence. The artist skillfully portrays the high stakes of this election through vivid imagery. The steam engine represents progress and momentum, highlighting Harrison as a candidate who can drive America forward. Meanwhile, Van Buren is depicted as being stuck in a difficult situation due to his association with Clay. This engraving serves as an important historical artifact from middle America during that time period. It reflects the fierce competition between Whig candidate Harrison and Democrat incumbent Van Buren for presidency in 1840. As viewers engage with this artwork, they are transported back to a pivotal moment in American history when political campaigns were fought with fervor and creativity. This print not only captures the essence of these two prominent figures but also provides insight into the tactics employed during early presidential races.
