This bookmark is not signed on the reverse - see the image below. It is however contained within the Stevens Family Album, presented to The Alfred Herbert Museum, so there can be little doubt it is of T.STEVENS manufacture.

This campaign ribbon was on behalf of the incumbant Democrat President Grover Cleveland with Allen G Thurman as Vice President. They were however unsuccessful against the Republican challengers Harrison & Morton.

It is believed that Stevens also produced the campaign ribbon for Harrison & Morton, and this is recorded as sb1552.
