HON. WM. JENNINGS BRYAN

Huge canvas banner promoting William Jennings Bryan for president, c. 1900. This measures just over 3 x 5 feet. Typical surface crackling. The maker is identified on the bottom right corner as BEMIS SIGN DEPT. ST. LOUIS. Tom Berg found this imposing banner at the old Jerome Hotel in Aspen, Colorado, where it had been in storage for well over 100 years. Large and impressive with an undeniable presence.
