Untitled (Hubert H. Humphrey autograph with campaign buttons)

Thank you to Dr. Glen Gabert and Gregory Ratcliff for the generous donation of this work.

Minnesotan Hubert Humphrey spent much of his life in public service to the United States. In addition to being a Senator, he served as Vice President under Lyndon B. Johnson from 1965-9. He was the Democratic Presidential candidate during the 1968 election, and was defeated by Republican candidate Richard Nixon. His Vice-Presidential running mate was Edmund Muskie. At the bottom of this work is Humphrey’s autograph. The political buttons come from many different campaigns for public office.
