"The Impending Crisis: A Glimpse into Presidential Campaigns Throughout History" Step back in time and witness the drama, wit, and intensity of presidential campaigns through captivating lithographs and memorabilia. From the iconic 1860 lithograph "Caught in the Act" to Richard III's c. 1828 portrayal, these artworks offer a glimpse into the political landscape of their respective eras. In 1864, John L Magee captured Little Mac's Great Two Horse Act during the presidential canvass, showcasing the theatrics that often accompanied campaign rallies. Meanwhile, Magee also depicted Chicago Nominee with Shakespearean flair - "I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest. . Where be your gibes now. . " - highlighting both humor and scrutiny faced by candidates. Magee continued his artistic commentary with "A Little Game of Bagatelle" in 1864. This piece symbolizes how politics can sometimes resemble a game where each move counts towards victory or defeat. Moving forward to more recent times, we explore Jesse Jackson's groundbreaking campaigns in 1984 and 1988 through newspaper inserts and pinback buttons. These artifacts reflect Jackson's impact on American politics as he sought to break barriers and champion equality. Notably, we also encounter pinback buttons from Clinton's presidential campaign spanning from 1992 to 1996. These buttons serve as reminders of his enduring popularity among supporters who rallied behind his vision for change. Finally, we delve into history once again with a pinback button from Kennedy-Johnson's monumental campaign in 1960. This artifact encapsulates an era defined by hope and progress as Americans embraced youthful leadership amidst turbulent times. Through this collection of lithographs and memorabilia spanning centuries, one thing becomes clear: presidential campaigns have always been marked by passion, strategy, controversy, and above all else, the pursuit of power.
