LINCOLN AND HAMLIN.
   
Complete Explanation:
A handsome campaign banner for Republican candidates Abraham Lincoln and Hannibal Hamlin. Bust portraits of Lincoln (left, based on Thomas M. Johnston's life portrait) and Hamlin appear in oval frames draped with a large American flag and surmounted by a rail fence on which perches an eagle. A burst of light and several flags radiate from behind the eagle. An olive branch (left) and oak branch (right) enclose the central portraits. The branches join beneath a view of the White House. A copy of the Constitution and "U. S. Laws" and a Bible and inkwell are also included.
