Description
Andrew Johnson: A Rare Large 1865-Dated Poster Honoring Him as the New President. Johnson's "honeymoon period" was short, as political squabbling over the remains of the defeated South soon rendered him impotent and highly unpopular. But this colorful poster has a very positive tone, showing him as the leader of "The Guardians," such as Stanton & Steward, and top Civil War generals such as Grant, Sherman, & Sheridan.Inasmuch as Johnson never ran as a candidate for President, there are no political posters bearing his likeness. This beauty dating from his first days in office is about as close as one could get! In fact, we cannot recall seeing any other variety of large poster with his image, and this is only perhaps the second example of this design which we have encountered. It measures a substantial 28" x 34", and has great display appeal, having been professionally cleaned & linen-backed to preserve it. Only the faintest traces of trivial light staining & soiling are noted for accuracy. Published by B.B. Russell & Co., Boston.
