Abraham Lincoln of Illinois. Andrew Johnson of Tennessee. No. 37 / G. Kaehrle [Gabriel Kaehrle].
Summary
Print shows a campaign banner for the Republican ticket in the 1864 presidential election. It consists of facing bust portraits of Abraham Lincoln (left) and Andrew Johnson (right). Below each portrait is an identical emblematic vignette of an eagle holding lightning bolts and an olive branch and surrounded by flags and banners. Torches are visible below the eagle, alternating with flagstaffs.
The Library's impression of the print was colored (garishly) by hand, apparently with a stencil.
