Key item features

  • Title: Uncle Sam's Youngest Son, Citizen Know Nothing, 1854
  • Description: A bust portrait of a young man representing the nativist ideal of the Know Nothing party. He wears a bold tie and a fedora-type hat tilted at a rakish angle. The portrait is framed by intricate carving and scrollwork surmounted by an eagle with a shield, and is draped by an American flag. Behind the eagle is a gleaming star. The flag hangs from a staff at left which has a liberty cap on its end. The Citizen Know Nothing figure appears in several nativist prints of the period (for instance "The Young America Schottisch," no. 1855-5) and is probably an idealized type rather than an actual individual. The publishers, Williams, Stevens, Williams & Company, were art dealers with a gallery on Broadway.
  • Creator: Sarony & Co., lithographer
  • Subjects: Eagle (prominently featured), Know Nothings, Uncle Sam
  • Collection: Cartoon Prints, American. This assemblage of prints made in America during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries encompasses several forms of political art.
