William Jennings Bryan

A real photo postcard of a guy pretending to have his photo taken with a man who appears to be William Jennings Bryan, the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for U.S. president in 1908.

Interestingly enough, a similar novelty photo (see below) evidently features William Howard Taft, Bryan's Republican rival in the 1908 presidential election. Taft won the election that year and became the twenty-seventh president of the United States (1909-1913).
