Lot 846
1859 Political Broadside for a "Union Ball" In Maine. 14½ x 10 in., January 27, 1859 advertising "Tickets $1.50 Cents!…Supper and Horse-Keeping Included." Even though Lincoln is two years away from the Presidency, concerns regarding divisive fractionalism plagued every part of the country… particularly in stable Northeast states fearing that radical elements in the South (and New England abolitionist states) would tear the country apart. Fine; professionally repaired on verso.
Estimated Value $300 - 500.
