ABRAHAM LINCOLN, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

Click for image enlargement
A large campaign banner or poster for Republican presidential candidate Abraham Lincoln. It features a central roundel with a bust portrait of the candidate, flanked by standing deities Justice and Liberty. Justice (left) holds scales and a sword, while Liberty (right) holds the Constitution and a staff with Phrygian cap. An eagle with wings spread perches atop the roundel, behind which are several American flags on pointed staffs. Below the roundel a document "The Union" and a fasces lie on the ground.

The image appears to have been printed from the same blocks (or a stereotype of them) as Baker & Godwin's 1856 banner for Millard Fillmore (no. 1856-6). Only the central portrait has changed.
