The Union must and shall be preserved. (Vote) For President Abraham Lincoln of Illinois. For Vice President Hannibal Hamlin of Maine c1860. Print shows a campaign banner for the Republican ticket. Oval bust portraits of the two candidates are enclosed in rustic bent-twig frames, intended perhaps to recall Lincoln's much-publicized backwoods origins. A rail fence appears above the portraits, draped with a banner with the motto, 'Free Speech, Free Homes, Free Territory.' An eagle stands on top of it, spreading his wings, surrounded by American flags. Below, between the portrait ovals, stand two American labourers flanking a shield marked 'Protection to American Industry.' On the left is a smith holding a hammer and standing before an anvil. On the right stands a woodman with his axe. The axe-head is embedded in a large, fallen tree. Behind the shield are several smokestacks and the sails of a ship. At the shield's base are two cornucopia. 1860
