"In an age before photography, most contemporaries gained their impressions of the presidents from popular prints and from iamges appearing on medals, ceramics, and other material items. These visual representations, which often included symbols of the Union, representations of Liberty, and other emblems of the new republic, reflected and shaped popular ideas about the presidency, and they strikingly document the important place of the presidency in American culture."
