[Lincoln, Abraham] Group of 14 Stereoviews of the Lincoln Funeral Procession
14 stereoviews, 10 having printed E. & H. T. Anthony & Co. paper labels affixed to verso. Images in varying conditions though most feature some toning and spotting, with wear to mount edges and corners. Comprising:
6 views of the funeral procession on Broadway, making its way toward City Hall. Each taken from the same vantage point but at different times, featuring different parts of the parade. Each with Anthony's title "The Funeral of President Lincoln, New-York, April 25th, 1865" printed on paper label, and individually numbered 2948, 2950, likely 2951, 2954, 2957, and 2958, respectively. -- 2 views showing different sides of Broadway Street, with buildings draped in mourning. The first, numbered 2973 and titled "Up Broadway from below Wall Street," the second, numbered 2974 and titled "Down Broadway from below Wall Street." -- 2 views from the same vantage point near Union Square, showing different parts of the funeral procession, the first numbered 4595 and titled, "Funeral of President Lincoln, N. Y. City. Regiment of Artillery passing in view." The other numbered 4596 and titled, "Funeral of President Lincoln, New-York city. 7th Regiment passing in view." Apparently the many-windowed building with large draped flag and columns wrapped in black was the house of Theodore Roosevelt's grandfather. In certain images from this vantage point (but not necessarily the ones featured here), a young Theodore and his brother, Elliot, can be seen looking out the second-story window. -- A view along the procession route showing several people watching the parade from the branches of a tree. Uncredited, but inked on verso, "Military on Broadway, NY." -- Stereoview with printed title on recto, "Broadway and Bank of the Republic," Blind stamp of G.W. Thorne, New York, from "American Views" series. -- Stereoview with period inked notation on verso, "Views of New York City - View of Broadway," uncredited. -- An up-close view of the hearse, ornately decorated with drapery and flags. Uncredited, with printed title on recto, "Abraham Lincolns Catafalque."
