*Uncle Sam's youngest son, Citizen Know Nothing* casts the nativist Know Nothing movement as a member of the national family. The movement's followers were known for answering questions about their secret meetings with "I know nothing," and the print's date of about 1854 places it near the height of the party's brief rise in national politics. It was drawn and printed by Sarony & Co. of Fulton Street in New York and published by Williams, Stevens, Williams & Co. of Broadway, in black, olive, and buff inks. Its large sheet, about 67 by 46 centimeters, reflects the political lithographs that circulated widely in that period.
