The Lincoln tintype in this campaign medal is a reversed copy of the famous "Cooper Union" carte de visite (Ostendorf O-17) made by Mathew B. Brady on the morning of February 27, 1860. The Hamlin tintype is a copy of a portrait by an unknown maker. The unknown maker of the medal likely produced the object on a mass scale for the Republican Party to be given away or sold at their headquarters throughout the United States.
