Rather than a single scene, this souvenir gathers portraits of the Republican Party's standard bearers and leading statesmen, a group format that let a campaign present its lineage on one sheet. The party was founded in the mid-1850s, and printed keepsakes like this were popular at rallies and in homes in the decades that followed, when lithographic portraits were cheap enough to hand out or frame. The title's pairing of "standard bearers" with "illustrious statesmen" is worth noticing, since it shows how the party wanted voters to see its candidates: as heirs to a cause, not only as office seekers.
