Item Description
16.5x23" image area. 26.5x33" overall matted frame. Three-quarter illustration of Bryan speaking to farmers/working men with "Rabbit Foot" hanging around his neck. Farmers hold signs reading "The Farmer Wants A Home Market For Agriculture And A Good Foreign Market/What About The Tariff Mr. Bryan?/Protective Tariffs Are Better Than Idleness/We Want A Tariff That Insists That Our Work Shall Be Done At Home And Not Abroad." A portrait of Lincoln appears in upper left with quote "You Can Fool Some Of The People All Of The Time, And You Can Fool All The People Some Of The Time; But You Can't Fool All The People All The Time/Abraham Lincoln." Bryan is quoted at bottom with text "Mr. Bryan: 'Oh No; No Tariff Changes! As I Have Already Said In My Letter Of Acceptance, I Consider The Tariff A Matter Of Minor Importance'." Text continues "Do You Really Believe That The Protective Policy Is Similar To The Pick-pocket's Policy Of Putting A Man's Hand Into Another Man's Pocket And Extracting Money From It?" Bryan's response "Yes, That Is My Belief." (Wm. J. Bryan, in congress, March 16, 1892, in answer to a question by congressman McKenna of California). Poster is printed by Edwards, Deutsch & Heitmann/Chicago. Evenly age-tanned. Scattered crease/split repairs. Upper right corner repair noticeable under close inspection. Condition issues do not affect graphics or text. Professionally framed with double matte and plexiglass. Overall impressive with nice graphics/content. Displays VF.
