Joseph Lane, a former Indiana congressman who had also led troops in the Mexican War and served as Oregon's first territorial governor, appears here as the vice-presidential nominee of the Southern Democrats, running with John C. Breckinridge in 1860. Currier & Ives, the New York firm that produced inexpensive lithographs of politicians and public events, issued campaign portraits like this one during a bitterly divided race. The Democratic Party had split at its 1860 convention, and the Breckinridge-Lane ticket drew its support mainly from slaveholding states, which helped Abraham Lincoln win the presidency.
