Lincoln appears here in a portrait medallion, a small round relief format that was popular in the mid-19th century, and the string tied around it suggests it was hung, carried or kept as a keepsake rather than displayed in a formal frame. The election context on this board points to the period around 1860, when Lincoln's rise to the Republican nomination and his victory that November turned his face into a common emblem of campaign enthusiasm. Portraits like this were often produced in quantity for supporters, so the object reflects how quickly a candidate's likeness spread through ordinary households. Its modest, personal form is worth noticing next to the larger campaign prints that usually come to mind.
