The artist particularly attacks the the institution of slavery, the foundation of Southern economy. A large shield is flanked by two figures: a planter (left) and a slave. The planter wears spurs and a broad-brimmed hat and smokes a cigar. The slave is clad only in breeches, and his hands are manacled. Above the shield are two crossed flags, the Confederate flag and one bearing a skull and crossbones and the number 290. Between t... Heap, G. H.; Tilley, H. H. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=29981497 Reports of his alcoholism haunted Democratic candidate Franklin Pierce during the 1852 campaign. The matter is taken up here with mocking reference to the Maine Liquor Law of 1851, a landmark prohibition measure first passed in Maine and subsequently adopted in several other states. An obviously inebriated Pierce leans against a large tree at right, holding a bottle out toward a man who passes on horseback. The man holds a document "Maine Liquor Law" and carries a barrel of "Hard Cider" on hi... Childs, J. (John) http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=29981498 A commentary on the depressed state of the American economy, particularly in New York, during the financial panic of 1837. Again, the blame is laid on the treasury policies of Andrew Jackson, whose hat, spectacles, and clay pipe with the word "Glory" appear in the sky overhead. Clay illustrates some of the effects of the depression in a fanciful street scene, with emphasis on the plight of the working class. A panorama of offices, rooming houses, and shops reflects the hard times. The Customs... Clay, Edward Williams, 1799-1857.; Robinson, Henry R., d. 1850. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=29981500 A satire attacking Andrew Jackson's plan to distribute treasury funds, formerly kept in the Bank of the United States, among "branch banks" in various states. The artist also alleges Vice-President Van Buren's manipulation of administration fiscal policy. Jackson appears as a jack-ass "dancing among the Chickens" (the branch banks) to the alarm of the hen "U.S.Bank." Martin Van Buren, as a fox, and Jack Downing, as a cock, look on. On the left sit five chained dogs, representing the "Albany A... Imbert, Anthony, 1794 or 5-1834. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=29981507 An advertisement announcing publication of the "American Citizen," a short-lived nativist newspaper. The broadside is illustrated with an elaborate and venomous anti-Catholic scene. At left a temple of Liberty stands on a mound labeled "Constitution and Laws." At the foot of the hill is a gathering of native Americans, including sailors, farmers, soldiers, and a Revolutionary War veteran. They hold banners emblazoned with such mottoes as "The Bible The Cornerstone of Liberty," "Beware of Fore... J.E. Farwell & Co. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=29981508 President Ulysses S. Grant and Congress turned a blind eye to the disputed 1872 election of carpetbagger William P. Kellogg as governor of Louisiana. In this scene Kellogg holds up the heart which he has just extracted from the body of the female figure of Louisiana, who is held stretched across an altar by two freedmen. Enthroned behind the altar sits Grant, holding a sword. His attorney general, George H. Williams, the winged demon perched behind him, directs his hand. At left three other...

Robinson, Henry R., d. 1850. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=29981513 Democratic frustrations in the race for the "Presidential Chair" are again parodied in the sequel or companion to "Balloon Ascension to the Presidential Chair" (no. 1844-32). Here the ascent of the Democrats is foiled as their balloon explodes, dumping Polk (far right) and his vice-presidential running-mate George M. Dallas into Salt River. Henry Clay seems to have punctured the balloon with a flag staff. Already in the water are former Democratic warhorses Martin Van Buren and Andrew Jackson...

The carriage founders in the path of a locomotive, really an assemblage of a "Hard Cider" barrel, a log cabin, and the head of Whig presidential candidate William Henry Harrison on wheels. Like "The Political Dancing Jack" (no. 1840-27), another crude but boldly designed woodcut, "The People's Line" was probably published by Huestis and Company and Rober... Elton, Robert N.; Huestis & Co. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=7789547 A crude portrayal of a fight on the floor of Congress between Vermont Representative Matthew Lyon and Roger Griswold of Connecticut. The row was originally prompted by an insulting reference to Lyon on Griswold's part. The interior of Congress Hall is shown, with the Speaker Jonathan Dayton and Clerk Jonathan W. Condy (both seated), Chaplain Ashbel Green (in profile on the left), and several others looking on, as Griswold, armed with a cane, kicks Lyon, who grasps the former's arm and raises ... http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=7794613 A satire directed against the United States Bank, showing the impact of Jackson's September 1833 order for the withdrawal of federal funds from the Bank and their distribution among state banks. In a bedchamber the Bank, portrayed as an obese woman, lies in bed vomiting coins "Deposites [sic]" into a basin "Manhattan Bank." Nearby are two other basins (filled) marked "Mechanics Bank" and "Bank of America," and two broken medicine vials labeled "Veto" and "Order for the Removal of the Deposite... Imbert, Anthony, 1794 or 5-1834. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=7798392 The second of two prints by "HD" portraying scenes from President Van Buren's visit to the resort at Saratoga Springs, New York, during the summer of 1839. (See also "The Cut Direct," no. 1839-3.) The satire comments favorably on Whig presidential hopeful Senator Henry Clay's successful precampaign tour of New York State that summer. In a ballroom Clay is greeted by Martin Van Buren, who says, "Mr. Clay you are welcome to the Empire state, I am quite rejoiced to see you so popular among the g... Dacre, Henry, b. ca. 1820.; Robinson, Henry R., d. 1850. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=7798700 Reflecting Whig preelection confidence in the campaign of 1844, the artist portrays that party's ascendancy over the Democrats in the race for the presidency. Bucholzer uses the metaphor of a hot-air balloon race between Whig candidates Henry Clay and Theodore Frelinghuysen (on the right) and Democratic nominee James K. Polk. The Whigs ascend with ease; Clay waves a flag and Frelinghuysen points toward the "Presidential Chair" which appears at left on a bed of clouds. The Democratic balloon ... Baillie, James S., fl. 1838-1855.; Bucholzer, H. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=7798829 "Metamorphosis" prints usually consist of folding flaps, each printed with part of a design and which, when opened sequentially, show several consecutive scenes. This example is an imaginary view of the hanging of Confederate president Jefferson Davis. (Davis was actually only imprisoned.) For another of the many popular portrayals of Davis's hanging, see "John Brown Exhibiting His Hangman" (no. 1865-16). In the first scene, Davis holds one hand to his chest and his other hand out, asking p... http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=7800105 An illustrated sheet music cover for a melody composed by Henry Schmidt and dedicated to Whig presidential candidate William Henry Harrison. A wreath of entwined branches, between which appear the seals of the states, is surmounted by a bust portrait of Harrison flanked by an arrangement of flags and cannon. The wreath enframes a rural scene, supposedly of the candidate's home on the North Bend of the Ohio River. Harrison stands outside the two-story log house, hailing a visitor who holds a s... Bufford, John Henry, 1810-1870.; Prentiss, Henry, 1801-1859.; B.W. Thayer & Co. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=7800106 An illustrated sheet music cover celebrating Confederate president Jefferson Davis's confinement at Fort Monroe after his capture by Union troops in May 1865. Davis is portrayed as a rat imprisoned in a wire cage, which in turn is sealed within the walls of the fortress. An eagle perches atop the wall, and a sentry stands guard nearby. Oliver Ditson & Co.; Greene, H. F. (Henry F.), b. ca. 1828. http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=7800281 The caricature reflects the bitter antagonism between Kentucky senator Henry Clay and President Andrew Jackson, during the protracted battle over the future of the Bank of the United States from 1832 through 1836. The print may relate specifically to Clay's successful 1834 campaign to exclude from the Senate journal Jackson's statement of protest against Congressional censure of his earlier actions on the Bank. Clay is shown restraining a seated, uniformed Jackson and sewing up his mouth. Fr... Johnston, David Claypoole, 1799-1865.
