Likely Unique 1881 Garfield Inaugural Silk Printed Program
1881 Garfield Inaugural Program with Silk Printed Cover, Printed by H.A. Thomas, NY, Choice Very Fine.
12.5" x 9.5" printed program features a silk cover with a central portrait of Garfield and oval portraits of 19 other presidents. This 8-page, toned program features an outline of the planned Inaugural Parade, as issued by Grand Marshal William Tecumseh Sherman. Several pages of advertising promote New York City stores, so apparently this particular program was sold there. Toned pages, a few minor stains, and fringing to edges of top and bottom of silk covers. Fantastic program--the first we've seen! Ex: EAHA Auction, October 11, 2003, Lot 611, where it sold for $2,300.
