Cleveland, Grover (1837-1908) 22nd and 24th President of the United States (1885-1889 and 1893-1897).
Photograph signed as President, two days before the end of his first term, 14½ x 11". Boldly signed and dated at the lower edge, "Grover Cleveland March 2, 1889." The sepia-toned, chest-up portrait is slightly faded but quite impressive. Matted and framed to an overall size of 24¾ x 21".
Previous to becoming President, Cleveland served as Mayor of Buffalo, N.Y. (1882) and Governor of New York (1883-85). He is the only President to have served two non-consecutive terms. Prior to the Twentieth Amendment, Inauguration Day was March 4, the day of the year on which the Constitution of the United States first took effect in 1789; the last inauguration to take place on March 4 was Franklin D. Roosevelt's first one on March 4, 1933. Since that time, the date changed to January 20.
