The title on this c1872 engraving makes its case outright: Grant as the nation's choice, leader in war and guardian in peace. It was made after a drawing by the firm D.T. Ames & Co., and its copyright notice names William Miller, which suggests it was issued as a commercial print. The image appeared during Grant's bid for a second term, which he won that November over Horace Greeley, and it frames his presidency as an extension of his wartime service to the Union.
