1900 Rare William Jennings Bryan & Adlai Stevenson Campaign Cloth Nearly 10 ft Banner. Wow, if you are searching for a statement piece or something to hang across a wall or hanging from post to post this is it. At just under 10 ft long (117" x 16") it certainly attracts attention. The first of these banners we have ever seen from the 1900 presidential campaign of Democrats Wm J Bryan and A.E. Stevenson. Could have been used as a street or inside banner. Interestingly, when we went to photograph it we realized that it is actually two banners (presenting as a double-sided banner) sewn together and open at along one of the long edges so as to fit over, or drape over, a rope or other object for hanging or displaying, making it visible from both sides. If you so desired and you are handy you could actually cut the banner apart and create two, one-sided banners. But we will leave that choice up to you since we always prefer to keep collectibles in the style and condition that we received it. Original.
A rematch of the 1896 presidential election, William Jennings Bryan sought to oust incumbent William McKinley from the presidential chair, but won the election with 292 electoral votes vs Bryan's 155.

Very good for its age, it does have some edge rips, ink bleeding around the letters and overall age wear. Letters are clear & bold. The background is actually a big darker than it looks in the photos
