Description
English: Title: Zachary Taylor, the people's choice for 12th president

Abstract: Print shows a Whig campaign banner for the 1848 presidential election. In the center of a facsimile cloth banner is an oval bust portrait of candidate Zachary Taylor in military uniform. Surrounding the oval, on a field decorated with stars, are oval bust length portraits of the eleven former American Presidents (clockwise from top): George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, William Henry Harrison, James K. Polk, John Tyler, Martin Van Buren, John Quincy Adams, James Madison, and John Adams. At the top of the banner, flanking Washington, John Adams (left), and Jefferson (right) are American and presidential flags. At the bottom of the banner, inscribed on a ribbon are the words "The Presidents of the United States." An almost identical banner was produced by Currier for Democratic candidate Lewis Cass (no. 1848-4). Physical description: 1 print on wove paper : lithograph with watercolor ; image 34.2 x 22.8 cm.

Notes: The Library's impression of the Taylor banner was deposited for copyright on June 23, 1848, two weeks after Taylor's nomination.; Published in: American political prints, 1766-1876 / Bernard F. Reilly. Boston : G.K. Hall, 1991, entry 1848-5.; Title from item.
