Lot Essay
An extremely rare three-sheet broadside from Lincoln's 1864 campaign for re-election. While campaign ephemera for the election of 1860 is quite plentiful on the market, similar material from Lincoln's 1864 campaign is uncommon in comparison. Of this artwork, there are three other extant copies known, but those examples show the national ticket only. They do not list the New York State candidates but include the additional line, "UNION NOMINATION" above the main image. As such, the present broadside is the only known copy extant.
This remarkable survival was discovered mounted to a wall in the back room of a bar in Yonkers, New York, that is believed to have once served as a campaign office in the 1860s. It was carefully removed and restored by M&W Graphics circa 2005. Kept in a private collection until 2024.
