Description: In the wake of the Watergate scandal and Nixon's resignation, peanut farmer turned Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter's outsider image caught the eye of disillusioned voters who were fed up with the politics as usual mentality of Washington. A big part of Carter's success in the 1976 presidential election against Gerald Ford can be attributed to the effectiveness of his grassroots campaign. The "Peanut Brigade," a group of volunteers, friends, and other Carter supporters from Georgia, led his campaign to a string of victories throughout the primaries, frequently leveraging irreverent pop art style imagery of a peanut wearing Carter's signature smile.
Description: Prior to entering politics and becoming the 39th President of the United States, Jimmy Carter was a simple peanut farmer...a fact used both for and against him during his 1976 campaign. This image - that of a big-toothed, grinning peanut - was pervasive in the run-up to the election, used on all types of political paraphernalia from buttons to signs and everything in-between. We sweat the small stuff, which is why we've worked hard to recreate this historic illustration with the utmost care for accuracy...down to the smallest detail. The graphics are hand-distressed to achieve a stylish, worn-in look.
