Object Details

Secretary of State John Hay spoke to a Chamber full of officials and dignitaries at a memorial service for William McKinley, the third U.S. President to be assassinated. Before his election as President, McKinley served in the House for six years. Published by Underwood and Underwood in 1902, this stereoview is typical of objects of its type from the period, in that it depicts an important event, includes a detailed description of the scene on its reverse, and is mounted on dark grey curved cardstock.
