Provenance
This collection forms part of the Jay T. Last Collection of Graphic Arts and Social History, which was
donated to the Huntington Library by Jay T. Last in 2005 as a gift in progress. The bulk of the Politics and Social Issues prints and ephemera were transferred to the Library between
2010 and 2012.
Background
The Jay T. Last Collection is an unparalleled archive of printed paper artifacts that documents American lithographic, social,
and business history. The collection began in the early 1970s when
physicist and Silicon Valley pioneer Jay Last moved to Southern California and started collecting citrus box labels he found
at local flea markets and rummage sales. As his collection grew,
Last realized that these labels conveyed important information about commercial printing, graphic design, and social history,
and he expanded his collection to include other forms
of American visual culture. Today this collection contains more than 200,000 lithographic prints, posters, and ephemera of
mostly nineteenth- and early twentieth- century American
origin and represents works by more than five hundred lithographic companies.
Scope and Content
The Jay T. Last Collection of
Politics and Social Issues Prints and Ephemera contains approximately 400 printed items related to politics and social issues
in 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.
Materials are arranged in two series: small-size items (11 x 14 inches or less) and large-size items (more than 11 x 14 inches).
Small-size items are described broadly at the series level; large-size items and select small-size items are fully inventoried
with printers,
artists, and publishers indexed by name. The collection includes over 130 large-size items comprised mainly of lithographed
commemorative portraits of United States presidents, political cartoons and caricatures, views of civic buildings and correctional
facilities, and portraits of political candidates. Small-size items number approximately
270 and contain a variety of materials, including small-format portraits, 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.
