Wm. McKinley, Prosperity

Wm. McKinley, Prosperity

Colour lithograph of McKinley's head in an oval under a flag banner reading 'Prosperity', with a robed female figure holding the flag aloft and small vignettes of a harvest field and a city at the edges. Above a red cartouche with the candidate's name, a single virtue word stands in place of a platform ([[glittering-generalities]]), and the flag and allegorical figure lend national symbolism to the portrait ([[transfer]]).
