1888 Election Candidates at the Bar with Belva Lockwood

A whimsical 3 by 5-inch card from the 1888 election picturing presidential candidates. Cleveland, Thurman, Harrison and Morton are there but even better this card pictures Belva Lockwood serving (we presume) a non-alcoholic beverage to Prohibitionist Clinton Fisk and Carl Shurz serving the other candidates. Lockwood was the first woman candidate to appear on official ballots. Excellent condition. This is the rare version of this card that pictures Lockwood.
