Lot Description
[POLITICS]. A group of 2 broadsides, including Who's a Democrat! Chicago: Colored Division, Republican National Committee, ca 1930s.
7 3/4 x 13 1/4 in. broadside (minor horizontal crease at center), after an 1891 photogravure published by Rombach & Groene likely as an early Republican political piece. This later version has been altered to include the addition of a newspaper at the young man's feet with the headline "Lynch 2 More in FLA." By the 1920s and 1930s, both parties were actively courting Black voters and the Republicans continued to emphasize their abolitionist legacy.
[With:] 10 3/4 x 16 3/4 in. lithographed poster after broadside, lacking newspaper. RAC (Republican Action Committee), 1984.
