A large crowd in what appears to be the town square. At center-right, a large street banner with jugate portraits of Ulysses Grant and Schuyler Colfax rises above the crowd, the visible portion of legend reading, REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS. ULYSSES S. GRANT (upper portions of "Schuyler Colfax" also visible).

One of the earliest photographs documenting an election (and a political banner in use) we have encountered, of special significance given that Georgia had been part of the Confederacy until just three years before, and was at this time under federal occupation. One has to wonder how a Grant campaign banner would have been received by southerners still feeling the humiliation of their defeat.
