EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ulysses S. Grant, the eighteenth President of the United States, during his 1868 presidential campaign. The wood engraving, created in the same year, captures Grant's strong and determined presence as he seeks to secure his position as leader of the nation. The poster itself is a testament to American history and politics at that time. It serves not only as an advertisement for Grant but also represents a significant moment in post-Civil War America. The image portrays Grant with a full beard, symbolizing maturity and wisdom gained from his experiences on the battlefield. The text accompanying the portrait emphasizes key aspects of Grant's identity: general, unionist, Republican Party member, and president-elect. These descriptors highlight his military achievements during the Civil War while positioning him as a unifying force for a divided nation. As we delve into this historical artifact further, it becomes evident that this wood engraving was more than just an election ad; it embodied hope for middle America after years of battle and strife. It represented progress towards unity under one leader who had proven himself through warfare. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York City, this print allows us to glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history when Ulysses S. Grant campaigned for presidency amidst ongoing reconstruction efforts following the Civil War.
