Description

The “family friend” who became First Lady

Wife of Grover Cleveland and First Lady from 1886 to 1889 and from 1893 to 1897. A longtime friend of the family—and twenty-seven years her husband’s junior—the Clevelands remain the only presidential couple to be married in the White House. Absolutely stunning 4.25 x 6.5 cabinet photo, a bust-length portrait of Cleveland in a beaded dress and choker, signed in ink as First Lady on the reverse of the mount, “Frances F. Cleveland.” The date, November 12, 1887, has been added in another hand. A top-notch example sure to impress even the most finicky collector! In very fine condition. R&R COA.
