Campaign are used in elections as political advertising to express views for or against a candidate, political party or set of issues.
Political buttons date as far back as George Washington and have taken many forms as the technology to create an image and mass production has allowed.
For instance, in the late 18th and first half of the 19th century they were real buttons sewn onto coats, whereas the modern forms typically have pins on the back and are therefore also called pinbacks.
The first photographic image on pins dates to 1860 when Abraham Lincoln used the tintype or ferrotype photo process.
The first mass production of metal buttons dates to the 1896 William McKinley campaign for president with "celluloid" buttons with one side of a metal disk covered with paper and protected by a layer of clear plastic.
Since 1916, buttons have generally been produced by lithographying the image directly onto the metal disk.
