The Presidents of the United States Lewis Cass, Democratic candidate for 12th president.

Print shows a campaign banner for Democratic presidential candidate Lewis Cass. It is almost identical in design to a banner Currier produced the same year for Zachary Taylor (no. 1848-5), except that here, above the portrait of the candidate, appears a bald eagle on a globe in an aureole of stars flanked by American flags.

The Library's impression of the print was deposited for copyright on June 6, 1848, less than two weeks after Cass's nomination at the party's Baltimore convention.
