EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print captures the emblem for the Harrison & Tyler Presidential Campaign in 1840, a significant moment in American politics. The image showcases the symbols and themes associated with this historic election. In the center of the illustration stands a log cabin, representing humble beginnings and hard work, reflecting William Henry Harrison's background as a war hero and common man. Flanking the cabin are two soldiers, symbolizing Harrison's military achievements during the War of 1812. The American flag proudly waves above them, signifying patriotism and unity. This emblem embodies democracy at its core – an opportunity for citizens to exercise their right to vote. Surrounding these central figures are various elements that further emphasize key aspects of this campaign. A cider barrel alludes to one of Harrison's nicknames as "Old Tippecanoe" referencing his victory at the Battle of Tippecanoe against Native American tribes in Indiana Territory. John Tyler, who would become America's tenth president if elected alongside Harrison, is also depicted within this emblematic composition. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the 19th century, it serves as a reminder of how political campaigns have evolved over time while still retaining certain enduring themes such as leadership qualities, national pride, and democratic participation.
