EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic electoral poster captures the essence of the American presidential election of 1900. Created by an anonymous artist from the American School in the 20th century, this colour lithograph is now housed at the Plaket Museum in Essen, Germany. The poster showcases a captivating blend of advertisement and patriotism. The bold red, white, and blue colours dominate the composition, symbolizing both pride and loyalty to one's country. A large flag takes center stage, its stars and stripes proudly displayed for all to see. Intricately designed portraits of two influential figures adorn either side of the flag. On one side stands Theodore Roosevelt, a charismatic Republican leader who would later become one of America's most iconic presidents. On the other side is William McKinley, whose presidency marked a period of economic prosperity for the nation. The presence of an eagle soaring above them adds another layer of symbolism – representing freedom and strength that resonated with voters during this crucial time in American history. This electoral poster not only serves as a visual reminder but also reflects upon important themes such as unity ("one country one flag") and national identity. It offers us a glimpse into political advertising strategies employed over a century ago while reminding us that elections have always been significant events shaping our society.
