EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Balls are Rolling - Clear the Track 1856" we are transported back to a significant moment in American history. The image, created by Nathaniel Currier, showcases a brilliant blend of artistry and political satire. Set against a majestic mountain backdrop, an enormous cartoon-like sphere rolls down a track with great momentum. This symbolic representation of democracy is adorned with various texts and symbols that reflect the identity of the Republican Party during the election year of 1856. It serves as a powerful commentary on the state of politics at that time. With its vibrant colors and meticulous illustration technique, this artwork captures both attention and imagination. The inclusion of only one man emphasizes the individual's role in shaping history through their vote and participation in democratic processes. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes evident that it not only reflects American culture but also highlights key aspects of Western script and communication techniques prevalent during that era. Moreover, Millard Fillmore's presence adds another layer to its significance as he was an influential figure during his presidency. Overall, "The Balls are Rolling - Clear the Track 1856" offers us a glimpse into America's past while reminding us of our responsibility to actively engage in shaping our future through democratic means.
