Abraham Lincoln & Hannibal Hamlin Massachusetts Electoral Ticket, 1860

Description

This Lincoln & Hamlin Electoral Ticket features a Lincoln portrait (very similar to photographs Helser created in June, 1860) flanked by flags and flaming “Wide Awake” torches and lanterns.

Presidential Electors are listed above those running for Massachusetts governor (John Andrew) and other state offices.

This scarce ballot is one of the largest of its day — and one of the most attractive as well.  This will be a real coup for someone!
