Description
Classic 1888 Harrison and Morton "Beach Ball" Paper Lantern This huge lantern (diameter approximately 22" when expanded) is one of the most dramatic political display items of that colorful era. It was fitted over a wire-frame "stretcher" (not present) which held its round form, and a candle resting in the bottom illuminated the lantern to add dramatic decoration to night-time political speeches and rallies. Benjamin Harrison is on one panel, Levi Morton on another, and the log cabin symbol on another. Can be displayed flat (as pictured), or fashion a wire frame to expand it. In excellent condition with minimal weakness along the vulnerable fold-line creases. A solid, stable example for expanded display. Height 23".Auction Info
