EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures the triumphant moment of Horatio Seymour and Frank Blair, the National Democratic Party's presidential ticket in the contentious election of 1868. The image, titled "National Democratic Banner of Victory, 1868," depicts Seymour and Blair standing proudly before a grand banner emblazoned with the party's insignia and the words "National Democratic Victory." The candidates, dressed in formal attire, exude confidence and determination, reflecting the intense political climate of the post-Civil War era. Horatio Seymour, a former governor of New York, ran for president on a platform that opposed Reconstruction and called for the restoration of states' rights. Frank Blair, a prominent journalist and politician from Missouri, served as Seymour's vice presidential candidate. Their campaign faced significant challenges, as the country was still reeling from the aftermath of the Civil War and the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson. Despite these obstacles, the National Democratic Party managed to gain a strong following, particularly in the border states. The print commemorates their successful campaign and the party's belief in a return to normalcy and the preservation of states' rights. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex political landscape of the late 19th century and the intense passion that surrounded presidential elections during this period. The print's creators, Horatio Seymour and Frank Blair, are depicted in the foreground, their faces set with determination and resolve. The grand banner behind them symbolizes the party's unity and the promise of victory, while the American flag in the background underscores the importance of national pride and unity in the aftermath of the Civil War.
