1862 Historic Massachusetts Election Ballot, Fine.
12.25" x 5.25," matted to an overall size of 15.5" x 8.25," soiled and folded, scattered light foxing, with a sealed internal tear on the lower right edge. A great Republican Election ticket promoting the candidacy of Charles Devens, Jr. of Worcester for Governor, and other candidates for down-the-line offices. Neat masthead vignette of Devens juxtaposed with Abe Lincoln and flanked by images of General Halleck and General McClellan (obviously playing the "defense" angle). Larger and much more impressive than most of the election ballots we've seen or handled.
