"The Wigwam Grand March, Dedicated to the Republican Presidential Candidate, Hon. Abrm. Lincoln." 5 pages including the illustrated cover on 3 detached sheets; 6-inch repaired closed tear on front cover and a shorter repaired tear on the final leaf. The cover features a handsome lithograph portrait of the candidate by J.H. Bufford of Boston. A tiny vignette at the portrait's lower left appears to depict the candidate splitting rails. The plate (and presumably the music) would soon be repurposed as "Inauguration Grand March," with the addition of a beard (not offered here).
