Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Title: Grand Democratic banner
  • Abstract: Print shows a campaign banner for Democratic candidates James K. Polk and George M. Dallas. Two bust portraits of the candidates appear in elaborate oval frames, each adorned with two eagles and a cornucopia. Below them are a shield with stars and stripes, two American flags, books, documents, and pens in inkwells. Above the portraits stands the figure of Liberty, holding a staff with a phrygian cap, on a globe before a rising sun. Flanking the central arrangement are two columns with profiles of George Washington carved in relief on their bases.
  • Physical description: 1 print on wove paper : lithograph ; image 32.6 x 21.8 cm.
^Notes: "Entered ... 1844 by J. Baillie ... N.Y."; The Library's impression has been defaced by a contemporary hand. Perhaps as an editorializing gesture, the eyes in the portraits have been blacked out and a small fox (a reference to "the Kinderhook fox" Martin Van Buren?) inscribed on the breast of each candidate. This impression was deposited for copyright on September 27, 1844.; Published in: American political prints, 1766-1876 / Bernard F. Reilly. Boston : G.K. Hall, 1991, entry 1844-14.; Title from item.
