Few drawings on this board pair two rivals so directly: this ink-over-pencil sheet, dated around 1968, sets Hubert Humphrey beside Richard Nixon at the height of that year's presidential race. Humphrey, the sitting vice president, became the Democratic nominee after Lyndon Johnson withdrew from the contest, while Nixon was the Republican candidate who would win the election in November. Political cartoons and portrait drawings of the era often leaned on such pairings to frame a contest as a head-to-head choice, so the sheet is worth reading as a snapshot of how the campaign was pictured to voters.
