President and Mrs. Coolidge Paying Respects to President Harding, Side A

This stereograph by Keystone View Company shows President Calvin Coolidge and First Lady Grace Coolidge leaving from paying their respects to President Warren G. Harding on August 8, 1923, whose casket was lying in state in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. While in San Francisco toward the end of his "Voyage of Understanding," Harding suddenly died on August 2, 1923, most likely from a heart attack. The caption reads: "President and Mrs. Coolidge Leaving Capitol Where President Harding's Body Was Lying in State, Washington, D. C."
