The world's tallest man-made structure, the Eiffel Tower, was set to open in a few days at the 1889 World's Fair in Paris.
Grover Cleveland had recently signed a bill to admit the Dakotas, Montana & Washington to the union as new states.
Benjamin Harrison had just taken over for Cleveland as Harrison was sworn in on March 4 as the 23rd US President (not until the 20th amendment in 1933 would inauguration day change form March 4 to January 20).
And although they didn't know it yet, both Charlie Chaplin and Adolph Hitler were set to be born within a few weeks.
The image is printed on lightweight foam board and arrives with everything you need to hang it. We have our Hotel Ponce de Leon foam board menu on a shelf in the kitchen (unhung). Very lightweight.
We have a rental house in Saint Augustine and display this on a shelf in the kitchen area.
