About this design
This design refers to the 1948 presidential election, and in particular, the famously incorrect headline that the Chicago Tribune printed the day after.
Reasons for the error aren't entirely clear, however the Chicago Tribune's printing method required them to print several hours earlier than normal and also the fact that the Tribune was conservative Republican would have played a part in it.
In a retrospective article over half a century later about the newspaper's most famous and most embarrassing headline, the Tribune wrote that Truman "had as low an opinion of the Tribune as it did of him.
