An eagle with wings spread perches atop the roundel, behind which are several American flags on pointed staffs. Below the roundel a document The Union and a fasces lie on the ground. The image appears to have been printed from the same blocks (or a stereotype of them) as Baker and Godwin's 1856 banner for Millard Fillmore (no. 1856-6). Only the central portrait has changed.
