EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic print captures the essence of American politics during a tumultuous time. The "Grand National Union Banner for 1864" is a colourful lithograph that served as a campaign banner for Republican presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln and his running mate Andrew Johnson. Against the backdrop of the Civil War, this powerful image symbolizes liberty, union, and victory - three pillars that were crucial to preserving the nation's integrity. The artwork showcases various elements associated with prosperity and progress: men ploughing fields, flags waving proudly in the wind, an eagle soaring above, and a cornucopia overflowing with abundance. The central focus of the banner is on Lincoln himself - his portrait exudes determination and leadership. Surrounding him are symbols representing different aspects of American life: agriculture with its plows and farm equipment, Congress with its politicians working towards unity, and freedom embodied by the bald eagle. This piece not only serves as a visual representation of Lincoln's bid for re-election but also encapsulates the hopes and aspirations of a nation torn apart by war. It reminds us that even in times of great adversity, political leaders strive to bring about positive change. Preserved in private collection today, this remarkable lithograph continues to inspire awe as it transports us back to one of America's most critical moments - when democracy was tested but ultimately prevailed.
