Item Details
Description
[LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865)]. Presidential campaign double-sided ferrotype medal depicting Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. 1864. A portrait print of President Abraham Lincoln on one side and one of running mate Andrew Johnson on the other. Diam. 1”. The image of Lincoln in this piece is a reversed image of a photograph taken by Thomas LeMere at Matthew Brady’s Washington, D.C. studio on 9 February 1864. This photograph was later used as the basis of the Lincoln engraving seen on the current $5 bill, which entered circulation in 2008. It is believed that this item was mass produced by the Republican Party during the 1864 presidential campaign which would ultimately see the Lincoln-Johnson ticket defeat McClellan-Pendleton 212-21 electoral votes.
