Political Cartoon, "Progressive Democracy, Prospect of a Smash Up," 1860
- Douglas-Johnson Campaign Badge, 1860 - Tintypes--inexpensive and durable--proved to be of special value in the 1860 presidential campaign, when small tintype images of candidates and their running mates decorated tokens, medals and campaign pins. The use of photography in political campaigns was still unusual at the time--most campaign buttons did not yet include photographic images of the candidates.

- Lithograph, "Mr. Lincoln, Residence and Horse as They Appeared on His Return from the Campaign with Senator Douglas," 1858 - Abraham and Mary Lincoln purchased a small home in Springfield, Illinois in 1844, shortly after their marriage. In 1856, with a growing family and income, they enlarged the house, seen here. After the 1860 election, they sold most of their furnishings and rented the house. This print, published in 1865 is likely a memorial - it shows a bearded Lincoln, though he did not have one in 1858.

- Lewis & Cady "Our Next President" Presidential Election Crock, circa 1860 - This crock was made of a durable, leak-proof pottery called stoneware. The orange-peel-like outer glaze was created when the potter threw handfuls of common rock salt into a white-hot kiln during the piece's firing. Salt-glazed stoneware pieces were decorated with an array of designs, including this caricatured image of Democratic candidate Stephen Douglas from the 1860 Presidential campaign.
