Three Vintage Presidential Cabinet Cards, Cleveland, Mrs. Cleveland, McKinley!
Cabinet card

A small lot of vintage cabinet cards, n.d. but late 19th century, depicting Presidents Grover Cleveland and William McKinley along with First Lady Frances Cleveland. Expected wear including isolated surface scuffs, stains, and stray pencil marks, else very good to near fine. The average size of the presidential cabinet cards is 4.25" x 6.5."

The lot is comprised of:

1. An albumen photograph of 22nd/24th U.S. President Grover Cleveland (1837-1908) mounted on an unlabeled/unstamped stock cream card. The caption "S. Grover Cleveland" as well as a serial number, 707, are printed along the bottom margin.

2. An albumen photograph of First Lady Frances Cleveland (1864-1947) mounted on an unlabeled/unstamped stock cream card. The caption "Mrs. S. Grover Cleveland" as well as a serial number, 1027, are printed along the bottom margin. The identical printing layout suggests that the two Cleveland cards have the same unknown publisher.

3. A Launey (New York, New York) cabinet card featuring an albumen photograph of William McKinley (1843-1901), future 25th U.S. President, mounted on a light gray stock card, captioned "Hon. William McKinley" at bottom and likely dating from before his 1896 presidential election.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
