| Comments: |
There is no signature on the reverse of this bookmark, and it is attributed to STEVENS only because it matches a silk bookmark within the Stevens' Family Album preserved at the Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry.
This bookmark features the portraits of Benjamin Harrison, running as President, and Whitelaw Reid, running as Vice President. It was issued on the occasion of Harrison attempting to gain a second term as President, in 1892; being defeated by Grover Cleveland.
