James G. Birney 1844

James G. Birney 1844 — the Liberty Party's standard-bearer rendered in the sober campaign-portrait register of a third-party crusade, his abolitionist candidacy quietly siphoning votes from Henry Clay and tilting the White House toward Polk. A small print, an outsized consequence in the slow-burning argument over slavery. About the Source Bella Frye sources artifacts from the great American historical archive — the Library of Congress, the National Archives, regional historical societies, and the lithographic publishers (Currier & Ives, Kurz & Allison, Endicott, Sarony, Prang) who documented the republic from its founding through the early twentieth century. The aged paper tone, the engraver's hand, and the original plate annotations are preserved in the print.
