| Description | Print shows an unusually elaborate and imaginative campaign banner for Liberal Republican-Democratic presidential candidate Horace Greeley. The print contrasts scenes of war and mayhem from Ulysses S. Grant's past as a Civil War general (right) to the world of letters, peace, and progress supposedly fostered by New York Tribune editor Greeley (left). Wearing his trademark white coat and spectacles, Greeley appears in the foreground of a crowded urban scene, where newsboys--black and white--hawk the "Tribune," an orator preaches from a pulpit, and a Native American, Irishmen, and a range of other peoples mingle; also, factory chimneys billowing smoke, churches, and telegraph wires stretching into the distance are additional signs of progress. Liberty or Columbia, accompanied by an eagle, appears on the left, holding a laurel crown. At the top of the print is a bust portrait of George Washington, flanked by medallions of the seal of the United States. On either side fly streamers with the seals of the states. At lower left is a small bust portrait of Greeley and on the right is one of his running mate Benjamin Gratz Brown, and in the center is a portrait of Abraham Lincoln. On the ground to the left of the Lincoln portrait are attributes of the editor Greeley--a valise, a pen, books, and a newspaper, and to the right are those of the soldier Grant--cannon shot and a broken saber.
