Description

Fremont & Dayton 1856 Grand National Banner Lithograph by N. Currier

A hand-colored lithograph published by famed printmaker Nathaniel Currier (1813-1888), entitled "Grand National Republican Banner/ Free Labor, Free Speech, Free Territory." Measuring 10" x 14", New York, ca. 1856.  Soiling to outside margin, with expected age toning and scattered foxing throughout; not examined outside of frame. Vibrantly colored. Displayed in a vintage wood frame to an overall size of 12.5" x 16.5".

Depicting the first Republican Party candidates, John Charles Fremont and William Dayton, who ran on a platform of antislavery and improved transportation through a transcontinental railroad. Featuring a pastoral farm scene and a depiction of the Temple of Liberty.

John C. Fremont (1813-1890) was an American explorer, military officer, and politician. In 1856, Fremont became the first presidential candidate of the new Republican Party. The Republicans, formed in 1854, were united in their opposition to the current Pierce Administration and the spread of slavery into the West. The election of 1856 was lost to Democrat James Buchanan, however, when the vote was split by the Know Nothing Party.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
