The 1864 campaign poster pairs Abraham Lincoln with George B. McClellan, the Union general who had led the Army of the Potomac and was now the Democratic nominee running against the sitting president. Election posters of this kind were printed to rally voters behind a ticket, and this contest was fought while the Civil War was still underway, so the choice between the two men carried real stakes for the country's future. Look closely at how the two candidates are set side by side, since the layout itself was part of the argument each party was making to voters.
