1888 Cleveland and Thurman Great Campaign Photograph "Party Reform - Down With Trusts". This is one of those photographs in life that you just can't help looking at over and over again. It features an old style building with dozens of people in period clothing on the second floor just beneath a massive campaign banner that reads "Cleveland and Thurman / Party Reform - Down With Trusts". In front of the building is a marching band.

But what also makes this photograph even more interesting is that on the reverse the photograph's owner identified and wrote the names of nineteen of the people in the photograph on the reverse side. The band is also identified as the Morton - MIlls Band.  After doing some research we found that there was/is a small town in Iowa named Morton MIlls, it was named after John Morton one of the original signors of the Declaration of Independence.  A large American flag appears in the center. 

Original, of course. Belongs in a museum. 

Historical Notes
