Title: For president of the people, Zachary Taylor
Creator(s): Rogers, J. L.,
Date Created/Published: [Philadelphia : s.n.], c1846.
Summary: Print shows a campaign banner for Whig presidential candidate Zachary Taylor. Although Taylor was not formally nominated by the Whigs until June 1848 he had already begun to attract a following in 1846. Here a half-length portrait of Taylor, in civilian dress, head in profile and arms folded across his chest, appears in a wreath formed by two oak branches. Below the portrait is a couplet reflecting the candidate's still independent status: About party creeds let party zealots fight / He cant be wrong whose life is in the right.
