EDITORS COMMENTS
Zachary Taylor: The People's Choice for the 12th Presidency This portrait captures the likeness of Zachary Taylor, the 12th President of the United States, who served from 1849 until his untimely death in 1850. Born on November 24, 1784, in Barboursville, Virginia, Taylor rose to prominence as a distinguished military leader, having served in the U.S. Army for over 40 years. Taylor's political career began when he was elected to the Senate from Louisiana in 1849. However, his true claim to the presidency came during the 1848 election, where he emerged as the unexpected candidate. The Whig Party, which had no clear frontrunner, turned to Taylor as a compromise candidate. He ran against Lewis Cass of the Democratic Party and won a surprising victory. Taylor's presidency was marked by his commitment to states' rights and his opposition to the expansion of slavery. He died suddenly in office, just 16 months into his term, leaving the presidency to Millard Fillmore. This photograph is a testament to Taylor's enduring legacy as a military hero and a surprising yet effective political leader. He is shown here in the traditional presidential pose, seated before a plain backdrop, dressed in a formal suit, and gazing directly at the viewer with a confident and determined expression. The portrait underscores Taylor's reputation as a respected and formidable figure in American history, joining the ranks of his esteemed predecessors: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James K. Polk, and Taylor himself. This image is an essential addition to any collection of American history, particularly for those interested in the 12th President and the unique circumstances that led to his election.
