Political Poster Made For The 1900 Presidential Campaign
About the Item
Made for the 1900 presidential campaign of William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt, this horizontal format broadside is one of the most colorful and graphic of the era. Between facing portraits of the two men is a bold, five-color, patriotic image of a bald eagle perched amid six flags with crossed staffs. These are bound in such a way that they resemble an angel with outstretched wings or a pillar of fire.
Below McKinley and Roosevelt are reproductions of their signatures, and along the bottom, in blue text, is maybe the best part, which is the full myriad of slogans for the campaign:
PROTECTION - PROSPERITY - NO LOWERING OF THE FLAG - RIGHT AND JUSTICE-HONEST MONEY - FULL DINNER PAILS - OUR COUNRTY - OUR HOMES
It is interesting to note how many of these concepts still resonate after the passing of more than 100 years.
It is also interesting to note that both of these men would soon hold our nation’s highest office. President William McKinley, while only six months into this, his second term, was assassinated by Leon Frank Czolgosz while attending the Pan-American Exposition (World’s Fair) in Buffalo, NY. Roosevelt assumed the presidency for the remainder of the term then won the 1904 election to serve an additional four years.
The poster is signed “Allied Printing, Chicago, Ill.” and is marked “Trades Council, Union Label, 142”. A trades council is an association of labor unions, so the poster was likely commissioned to be printed and distributed by chapter 142 (probably in Chicago, though exact location unknown) in support of the McKinley-Roosevelt ticket.
Mounting: This is a sandwich mount between 100% cotton velvet and u.v. protective plexiglas. The frame is our best, black-painted, hand-gilded and distressed, Italian molding.

- Cast Iron Boot Jack Made for 1864 Presidential Campaign of George McClellanLocated in York County, PACAST IRON BOOT JACK, MADE FOR THE 1864 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN OF GENERAL GEORGE B. MC CLELLAN, WITH A FANTASTIC SLOGAN THAT READS "THE UNION AT ALL HAZZARDS" Made for the 1864 presidential run of George B. McClellan, this cast iron bootjack is both rare and graphically exceptional. Displaying the original black-painted surface, with attractive and desirable patina, the stylized profile has a wonderful folk art quality. Molded block letters that wrap around the heel clasp read simply "Gen. Mc Clellan. These are accompanied by a prominent Civil War-associated slogan: "The Union at all Hazards." The text is intermingled with 34 stars, which was equivalent to the number of states during the opening two years of the war, but was one star short by mid-1863 and two stars short by the time of the actual election in 1864. It's not unusual to encounter this feature in civil war campaign parade flags as well as all manner of flag-related ephemera. The iron was reportedly cast by G. & D. Cross of Morrisville, New York, though it is unsigned and I have not yet verified the attribution. I have seen two other examples, one of which had a broken and repaired tine on the U-shaped horns and newly painted surface, while the other appeared to have broken lifters and inferior, rusted patina. This is, hands-down, the best of the identified examples. Brief History of the 1864 Campaign: President Abraham Lincoln had a checkered relationship with his 1864 opponent, who he had formerly chosen as General-in-Chief of the entire Union Army. The career officer repeatedly knocked heads with his Commander-in-Chief. Having raised a well-trained and organized military force, McClellan often seemed reluctant to use it. By 1862, after losses in Virginia during the Peninsula Campaign, Lincoln grew frustrated with McClellan and the progression of the war and removed him from command. By the early part of 1864 the American people shared some of the same frustrations and Lincoln was no longer the clear choice for the White House. The nation was tired of war and the remains of the Democratic Party...Category
