THOMAS HART BENTON 'COUNTY POLITICS'THOMAS HART BENTON 'COUNTY POLITICS' LITHOGRAPHThomas Hart Benton (American, 1889-1975) County Politics, 1973 Lithograph on paper 14" x 16 7/8" (image) From an edition of 250 (Fath, 89) published by Associated American Artists (New York). Pencil-signed "Benton" in the lower right margin. Presented behind glass in a wooden frame that measures 23 1/4" x 26 1/4". The following is Benton's own description of this image, as written in Creekmore Fath's essential The Lithographs of Thomas Hart Benton: "County Politics shows what we used to call 'The Courthouse Gang' arguing out its allegiances, favors, rewards and punishments. Every rural court house had one and probably still does. Those who run for public office, however high, must take these gangs into account. They know where the votes are and how to round them up." Provenance: From the corporate art collection of a Kansas City based Fortune 500 company.

Harrison Parade Marcher with BallotHarrison Parade Marcher with Ballot Box Torch Half Plate Tintype Half plate tintype of a parade marcher carrying the very rare ballot box torch produced by the McGregor Adams Company of Chicago in 1880. There are less than a handful of these glass globe torches in existence today and images of them are equally rare especially in the large half plate size the largest size Cowan's has seen to date. An informed guess as to the candidate represented would be W.S. Hancock as most Hancock outfits were light in color and very similar to this design. Mint condition. Uncased. John D.
