The portrait of Mr. Cleveland is also identical to the normal sized portrait made by Stevens, as can be seen here on so198
 

The basic layout and design of this silk was used by STEVENS to make the three USA Presidential silks of

sb418 - Benjamin Harrison (President)
sb798 - Francis F Cleveland
sb854 - Grover Cleveland (President) - the silk above

WARNING:
Please be advised that there are two versions of this portrait silk:
The Genuine Stevens silk has stars woven into the shield below the eagle.
The second version of this silk (below) does not have these stars - and it is believed this version is NOT a genuine Stevens.
