Popular Vote Map: 1880 (James Garfield v. Winfield Hancock)

From Statistical Atlas of the United States (1880)

James Garfield's win in the 1880 presidential election was the smallest popular vote victory in any U.S. election to date. He beat Hancock by fewer than 2,000 votes! And Garfield's 200-day presidency, before his assassination, remains the second shortest ever. On this map, see the geographical details of his election.

All prints are on matte, archival, acid-free paper, and all framed prints are framed in satin black wooden frames.

We've done a little bit of cleanup to prepare the image for printing, but this is a faithful reproduction of the source material, and bears any scratches, smudges, or tears that were in the original. How charming!

Note: The botanical watercolors originals are on the smaller side, so we recommend 16 x 20" and below. While larger prints are fine from several feet away, you may notice pixellation when viewing them up-close.
