A History of Presidential Vacations & Retreats - Photo 2
This drawing shows President Grover Cleveland and First Lady Frances Folsom Cleveland fishing while on vacation at their honeymoon cottage in Deer Park, Maryland. President Cleveland was an avid hunter and fisher. Reporters, who had been barred from the wedding, look on in the background. The caption reads, "How sweet is solitude," poking fun at the lack of privacy inherent in being the president. This image was drawn by illustrator William Allen Rogers, more commonly known as W. A. Rogers, who drew cartoons for Harper's Weekly and Life magazine, among others, over his storied career.
