Abraham Lincoln, Republican candidate for president of the U
Abraham Lincoln, Republican candidate for president of the United States. A print for 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 & Godwins 1856 banner for Millard Fillmore (no. 1856-6). Only the central portrait has changed.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Abraham Lincoln, the renowned Republican candidate for president of the United States during the tumultuous year of 1860. The image is reminiscent of a grand campaign banner or poster, featuring a central roundel that encases a bust portrait of Lincoln. Flanking the portrait are two standing deities, symbolizing the values of Justice and Liberty. Justice, depicted on the left, holds the scales and a sword, while Liberty, on the right, wields the Constitution and a staff adorned with a Phrygian cap. Atop the roundel, an eagle with outstretched wings proudly perches, signifying the strength and unity of the nation. Behind the eagle, several American flags on pointed staffs wave in the wind, representing the patriotism and pride of the people. Below the roundel, a document titled 'The Union' and a fasces lie on the ground, symbolizing the unity and strength of the American people, as well as the power and authority of the government. Interestingly, this print shares the same design elements as the Baker & Godwins 1856 banner for Millard Fillmore, with the only notable difference being the central portrait of Lincoln. The intricate details and masterful execution of this print evoke a sense of historical significance and the profound impact that Lincoln's presidency would have on American history.
