EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Whig campaign badge from the historic 1844 election. The badge proudly displays the names of presidential candidate Henry Clay and his running mate Theodore Frelinghuysen, symbolizing their bid for the highest offices in the land. Created by Edward P. Whaites, this engraving on wove paper captures the essence of political fervor during that time. Measuring at 18.2 x 6.8 cm, this intricate piece combines both engraving and stipple techniques to bring out every detail with precision and artistry. It is interesting to note that this particular version also includes a portrait of Theodore Frelinghuysen, emphasizing his significance as the vice-presidential nominee. Sold exclusively by E. P. Whaites at 1 Cortland St. , New York City in 1844, this campaign badge served as a visual representation of support for Clay and Frelinghuysen's candidacy within the Whig party. Although it is important to mention that commercial use should not be associated with this historical artifact, its value lies in preserving an iconic moment in American politics through artistic means. This print serves as a reminder of how campaigns were conducted over a century ago when engraved badges like these played an integral role in promoting candidates' messages and garnering public support.
