Gen. James Irvin appears here as the Whig nominee for governor of Pennsylvania, a campaign he contested in 1847 against the Democrat Francis R. Shunk. Parties in that era relied on inexpensive lithographs to put a candidate's face before voters who would never see him in person. Nathaniel Currier's New York firm produced many such portraits in the 1840s, often colored by hand to make them stand out. The print is listed as number 2510 in the Gale Research catalog raisonné of Currier & Ives.
