This 1900 print places the phrases Liberty, Justice and Humanity beside the name of William Jennings Bryan under the heading "The Issue," making it a campaign piece rather than a portrait. Bryan was the Democratic nominee that year, challenging William McKinley, and free silver, the push to expand silver coinage alongside gold, was the central economic question of his platform. The record associates the print with the Strobridge & Co. lithography firm, though that attribution is unverified. The slogans do most of the persuading here, asking viewers to link broad ideals to a single political cause.
