Mrs Cleveland at the White House Desk with Poodle
Mrs Cleve land sits opposite her husband at his historic desk presented to the White House by Queen Victoria. Papers pile atop the desk secured by paperweights as Col. Lamont and clerks depart. The President uses a steel pen and redwood penholder to sign documents after deliberation. A silver horseshoe from Allen town marks a recent note on her boudoir door. The Dutch poodle Hector, licensed tag 40, causes mischief around receptions and learns tricks in French but not English.
