Printed as a lithograph rather than a photograph, this piece uses a process in which an image is drawn on stone and transferred to paper. Currier & Ives, the New York firm that issued several thousand prints between 1857 and 1907, made campaign material like this for a mass audience that wanted political messages in pictures. Its title, which invokes the working man, reflects how such images spoke directly to ordinary voters and to the banners and slogans carried at rallies.
