1844 James K. Polk Election Broadside, Lancaster, PA
Lantern Procession in Honor of President Polk's Victory
Original political broadside announcing a torchlight, "Illumination and Procession In Honor of the Glorious Victory Achieved in the Election of Jas. K. Polk, On Tuesday evening, Nov. 26, 1844, in the City of Lancaster". President Polk items are very tough to come by, with broadsides being particularly rare. Also, this advertises and describes in detail an early torchlight/lantern parade through downtown Lancaster, Pennsylvania. These processionals were often at the heart of political campaigns of the 19th century. Nicely custom framed.
