Grand National Whig prize banner badge
- Title: Grand National Whig prize banner badge / lith. by Edward Weber & Co., Baltimore, Md.
- Creator(s): Edward Weber & Co., lithographer
- Related Names:
Curlett, William.
Gade, John. - Date Created/Published: [Baltimore? : s.n.], c1844.
- Medium: 1 print on wove paper : lithograph, chine colle proof ; image 40.7 x 25.7 cm.
- Summary: A representation of a banner commissioned by the Whigs of Baltimore for the Whig National Convention in May 1844. The banner was made by John Gade and painted by William Curlett. As noted on the lithograph, the original banner was "to be presented by the Whigs of the City of Baltimore to the Whigs of such state, as shall have the proportionably largest number of Delegates in attendance at the Young Men's Whig National Convention of Ratification, to meet in Baltimore on the 2d of May 1844." The lithograph was apparently produced as a small-scale souvenir replica or campaign badge. (An impression printed on silk from the same stone is in the Smithsonian's Lepman Collection.) The print also lists the members of the "Whig Banner Committee under whose direction, the Whig National Prize Banner was prepared & to whom this Badge is by permission most resp[ectfully] inscribed." They include: Levi Fahnestock, Chairman, James Grieves, Benjamin C. Ross, John A. Robb, Edward V. Ward, Isaac A. Roberts, Charles R. Hardesty, C.C. Egerton Jr., William S. Browning, Robert M. Proud, William R. Jones, Alfred L. Moore, John B. Mathiot, and John C. Blackburn. The banner's iconography reflects Henry Clay's commitment to a strong union and protection of American industrial and commercial interests. It is suspended from a staff whose finial is a Roman fasces. Its upper corners are held by two bald eagles between whom stretches a festoon of grain and fruits with scythes, signifying abundance. On the banner itself is a bust portrait of Henry Clay in a medallion, surmounted by another eagle and supported by two seated female figures: Commerce (left), with two sailing ships on the sea behind her, and Ceres or Agriculture (right) holding a scythe and resting on a sheaf of wheat, with a spinning wheel, railroad bridge, and a mill--symbols of industry--in the background. The central motif is surrounded by a framework of acanthus, which sprout two cornucopias holding various fruits and grains. Below is a banderole with a motto praising Clay as "In all Assaults our Surest Signal." Beneath the banner the candidate's litany continues with the couplet: Statesman yet friend to truth of soul sincere, In action faithful and in honor clear. According to the text the verso of the banner is painted with a wreath composed of the arms of each of the twenty-six states, surrounding the words: "The Union, / Our strong defence, to foes impregnable,/ Priceless to friends."

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.
-
Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will
be visible on the left.)
-
Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.
As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)
-
No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.
-
-
Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that
a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?
-
Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.
-
No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.
-
-
If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.
To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
