EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Granger Collection takes us back to the heart of the Presidential Campaign in 1940. The image showcases a Republican button, an artifact that served as a powerful warning to voters about the Democratic ticket led by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and vice-presidential candidate Henry Wallace. The button's message is clear - it highlights concerns that this particular Democratic ticket would lead the United States into World War II. At a time when isolationism was prevalent among many Americans, this advertisement aimed to sway public opinion against FDR and his party by tapping into fears of involvement in another global conflict. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era where political campaigns relied on physical memorabilia like buttons to convey messages and rally support. It serves as a reminder of how different election campaigns were conducted during that period compared to today's digital age. As we examine this piece of Americana, we are transported back in time, imagining the fervor surrounding these campaign buttons as they were distributed across middle America. This artifact not only represents political advertising but also captures a pivotal moment in history when decisions made at the ballot box had far-reaching consequences for our nation's future. Presidential Campaign, 1940 encapsulates both nostalgia for past elections and recognition of their impact on shaping our world today.
