The Jay T. Last collection of politics and social issues prints and ephemera contains approximately 400 printed items from the United States from the 1800s to the 1950s, with the bulk of the items dating from 1850 to 1910. Most of these items are lithographs, but engravings and woodcuts are also included. The collection includes commemorative portraits of United States presidents, political cartoons and caricatures, portraits of political candidates, album card sets, trade cards, election or rally tickets, and ribbons. The collection highlights both well-known and less recognized American political figures and activists of the 19th and early 20th centuries along with social causes and issues often linked to political activities, most notably the temperance movement. The images provide a rich visual resource for studying the history of American governance of citizens including national, state, and local laws, issues, elections, and causes, as well as a perspective on portraiture, caricatures, and political cartoons of the 19th and early 20th centuries. As graphic materials, the prints and ephemera offer evidence of developing techniques and trends in printmaking, and of the artists, engravers, lithographers, printers, and publishers involved in the creative process.
