LEFT TO RIGHT Democratic Ticket, New Hampshire, 1863; Democratic National Reform Ticket, Maryland, 1876; Free Soil Ticket, Boston, 1849. Consistent political iconography was still being established during this period. Parties were represented by a range of emblems like this ship, sassy rooster and Dr. Seuss–like tree.

Ballots printed in German and typeset in blackletter, Ohio, 1864.

Democratic State Ticket, Ohio, ca. 1850. This buck giving the side eye was the Democratic party emblem.

LEFT TO RIGHT Regular Democratic Ticket, Massachusetts, ca. 1870s; Labor Ticket, Boston, ca. 1877; Democratic National Reform Tickets, ca. 1870. Motifs were consistent by party, but the look varied depending on the printer, who would select from different engraving catalog illustrations. One ballot includes the motto “Be Just & Fear Not.”
