The peoples line--Take care of the locomotive
The peoples line--Take care of the locomotive. Incumbent President Martin Van Buren drives Uncle Sams Cab, a carriage pulled by a blindered horse, which wrecks on a pile of Clay. The carriage founders in the path of a locomotive, really an assemblage of a Hard Cider barrel, a log cabin, and the head of Whig presidential candidate William Henry Harrison on wheels. Like The Political Dancing Jack (no. 1840-27), another crude but boldly designed woodcut, The Peoples Line was probably published by Huestis and Company and Robert Elton. Its imprint lists the two addresses used by these publishers on other prints during the 1840 campaign. Date 1840. The peoples line--Take care of the locomotive.
