1882 Grand Republican Rally at Lake Maranocook, Readfield, Maine



This notice was apparently clipped from a newspaper, most likely a Maine newspaper.  I found it attached to a backing that resembles purple construction paper.

Most of the biggest names in Maine politics of the era were listed as speakers.

Lake Maranocook is also spelled as Lake Maranacook
