Creator(s): N. Currier (Firm),
Date Created/Published: [New York] : Lith & Pub. by N[athaniel] Currier, 2 Spruce St. N.Y., c1844.
Summary: A Whig election banner almost identical to Currier's 'Grand, National, Democratic Banner' (no. 1844-13). Currier is known to have produced at least three Whig banners for the 1844 election. This example features oval portraits, framed in laurel, of Whig presidential and vice-presidential candidates Henry Clay (left) and Theodore M. Frelinghuysen (right). 'The Nation's Choice For President & Vice President' is inscribed on a banderole below the portraits. An eagle and several American flags appear in a burst of light above the portraits, as does the campaign slogan 'Justice to Harry of the West.'
