Lincoln appears here as a candidate rather than a president, in a lithograph dated around 1860, the year he won the Republican nomination and then the presidency. The print was drawn by Leopold Grozelier and produced at J.H. Bufford's shop in Boston, one of the busiest commercial lithography firms of the period, which turned out portraits, sheet music covers and campaign material for a national market. Portraits like this one circulated widely during the election, often sold cheaply and framed in parlors or pinned up in political clubs. Its title, "Hon.," follows the courtesy style used for a sitting congressman, a reminder of how little national office Lincoln had held before his rise.
