Zusammenfassung
Print shows a campaign banner for the 1876 Republican presidential ticket. Bust portraits of Ohio governor Rutherford B. Hayes and William A. Wheeler are framed with laurel wreaths. Above them hang swags of drapery with tassels. A bald eagle rests on the top of the portraits, flanked by four American flags, and holds part of one of the flags in his beak. Above him the words "Liberty and Union" appear in an aureole of light. Between the portraits is a cornucopia, and below each of them a bundle of fasces. A similar banner was produced by Currier & Ives for the Democratic ticket the same year. (See "Grand National Democratic Banner," no. 1876-3.)

New York City wurde von 1835 bis 1907 zunächst von Nathaniel Currier und später gemeinsam mit seinem Partner James Merritt Ives geleitet. Das produktive Unternehmen produzierte Drucke von Gemälden bildender Künstler als Schwarz-Weiß-Lithographien, die von Hand koloriert wurden. Die Firma nannte sich "Großes Zentrales Depot für billige und beliebte Drucke" und bewarb ihre Lithographien als "Farbstiche für die Menschen". Die Firma nahm 1857 den Namen "Currier and Ives" an.
