FREMONT & DAYTON WARD 5 HEAD QUARTERS

Large cotton headquarters banner promoting John C. Fremont for president and William Dayton for vice president, 1856.  49 x 65".  There are 8 small nail holes and minor tears along the top edge as well as some light, minor stains, but this one of a kind banner is in generally excellent condition and a remarkable survivor.  A rare piece from the Republican Party's first presidential candidate.
