Taylor. A campaign print, grandiose in design
Taylor. A campaign print, grandiose in design and imagery, for Whig presidential candidate Zachary Taylor. A corona of thirty stars appears in a burst of light. Emanating streams of light illuminate a broad expanse of sky filled with clouds. In the center of the sky is a large bald eagle, holding a cluster of thunderbolts in one talon and an olive branch in the other. He descends toward the name Taylor, which is spelled out in massive block letters across the sky below. On each letter is the name of a Taylor military victory, with the number of forces under Taylors command and those of the enemy. The battles include (from left to right): Fort Harrison, Okee-Cho-Bee, Palo Alto, Resaca del la Palma, Monterey, and Buena Vista. Placed in and around each letter are combat scenes. Prominent on top of each letter is an American flag, that on the letter T having a liberty cap as well. A vine of laurel connects all of the letters. Date c1848. Taylor.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This grandiose campaign print, created in 1848, showcases the military prowess and presidential aspirations of Whig candidate Zachary Taylor. The design is filled with imagery that conveys Taylor's strength, patriotism, and victory. A corona of thirty stars, representing the Union, bursts forth from the top of the print, illuminating the sky with streams of light. In the center, a majestic bald eagle descends towards the name "Taylor," spelled out in massive block letters below. Each letter is adorned with a Taylor military victory, symbolized by the name of the battle, the number of forces under Taylor's command, and those of the enemy. The battles depicted, from left to right, include Fort Harrison, Okee-Cho-Bee, Palo Alto, Resaca del la Palma, Monterey, and Buena Vista. Surrounding each letter, combat scenes bring the victories to life. Atop each letter, an American flag waves proudly, with the flag on the letter "T" featuring a liberty cap. A vine of laurel connects all the letters, symbolizing the unity and continuity of these triumphs. This print was a powerful visual representation of Taylor's military achievements and his suitability for the presidency during a time when the United States was expanding its territory and facing significant challenges.
