Lithograph by Nathaniel Currier 13-1/2"x18", entitled "GRAND NATIONAL AMERICAN BANNER", hand-colored, 1856, with profiles of Millard Fillmore and Andrew Donelson. Center fold splits, large tear at bottom, else about very good condition. Millard Fillmore (1800-1874) was the 13th president of the United States (1850-1853), the last to be a member of the Whig Party while in the White House. A former member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Upstate New York, Fillmore was elected as the 12th US Vice President in 1848, and succeeded to the presidency in July 1850 upon the death of US President Zachary Taylor. Fillmore was instrumental in the passing of the Compromise of 1850, a bargain that led to a brief truce in the battle over the expansion of slavery. He failed to win the Whig nomination for president in 1852 but gained the endorsement of the nativist Know Nothing Party four years later and finished third in the 1856 presidential election. Nathaniel Currier (1813-1888) was an American lithographer. He headed the company Currier & Ives with James Ives.
