EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph campaign poster from 1872 showcases the Liberal Republican candidates for President and Vice President, Horace Greeley and Benjamin Gratz Brown. Created by renowned artists Currier & Ives, this historical piece of American advertising captures the essence of a pivotal presidential campaign. The poster is filled with symbolic imagery that reflects the spirit of the times. A prominent bald eagle, a symbol of strength and freedom, soars above an American flag and banner bearing the names of these political contenders. The presence of Columbia, personifying America herself, adds to the patriotic atmosphere. Greeley's distinctive beard and glasses are instantly recognizable in his portrait while Brown exudes confidence alongside him. The inclusion of a plow signifies their commitment to agricultural interests while a cornucopia represents abundance under their leadership. The text on this lithograph serves as both advertisement and canvassing tool for these men seeking office. It highlights their affiliation with the Liberal Republican party as well as their dedication to progressive ideals. Nathaniel Merritt Currier and James Ives have masterfully captured not only the physical features but also the character traits that made Greeley and Brown appealing candidates during this era. This print is a testament to their artistic skill in creating powerful visual representations that resonated with voters at that time. Presidential Campaign 1872 stands as an important artifact from American history, showcasing two influential figures who played significant roles in shaping our nation's political landscape.
