It features a central roundel with a bust portrait of the candidate, flanked by standing deities Justice and Liberty.

An eagle with wings spread perches atop the roundel, behind which are several American flags on pointed staffs. 'The Union' and a fasces lie on the ground. The image appears to have been printed from the same blocks (or a stereotype of them) as Baker & Godwin's 1856 banner for Millard Fillmore (no. 1856-6). Only the central portrait has changed. 1860 by Baker & Godwin ...
