Uncle Sam's youngest son, Citizen Know Nothing
Title: Uncle Sam's youngest son, Citizen Know Nothing / Sarony & Co., lith., 117 Fulton St., N.Y.
Creator(s): Sarony & Co., lithographer
Related Names:
Williams, Stevens, Williams & Co. , publisher
Date Created/Published: [New York] : Williams, Stevens, Williams & Co., 353 Broadway, N.Y., c1854.
Summary: A bust portrait of a young man representing the nativist ideal of the Know Nothing party. He wears a bold tie and a fedora-type hat tilted at a rakish angle. The portrait is framed by intricate carving and scrollwork surmounted by an eagle with a shield, and is draped by an American flag. Behind the eagle is a gleaming star. The flag hangs from a staff at left which has a liberty cap on its end. The Citizen Know Nothing figure appears in several nativist prints of the period (for instance 'The Young America Schottisch,' no. 1855-5) and is probably an idealized type rather than an actual individual. The publishers, Williams, Stevens, Williams & Company, were art dealers with a gallery on Broadway.
