1884 First Edition "Lives and Public Services of Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks" by Col. Frank Triplett

A fascinating first edition of "Lives and Public Services of Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks" by Col. Frank Triplett, published in 1884 during the historic presidential campaign that would see Cleveland elected as the 22nd President of the United States.

Beautifully presented, the book features an intricate purple and black decorative cover with gilt titles to both the front and spine. Inside, portrait engravings and illustrations accompany the detailed biographies of Grover Cleveland and his running mate, Thomas A. Hendricks.

Beyond the two principal subjects, the volume contains a wealth of additional historical material covering prominent American political figures and events, with references to Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson, Ulysses S. Grant, and others. Together, the text and illustrations provide a fascinating glimpse into how American political history was being presented to readers during the late 19th century.

Published in 1884 and entered into the Library of Congress the same year, this substantial volume is both an attractive decorative book and an intriguing piece of American political history.

A wonderful addition to a collection of presidential memorabilia, Americana, 19th-century books, or political history.
