Y. City. 23d passing in view." The second with printed number 2958 on verso, although this has been crossed out and replaced with a penciled number 4595, with printed title "The Funeral of President Lincoln, New York, April 25th, 1865." The third numbered 4596 ("6" penciled over last digit) and titled, "Funeral of President Lincoln, N Y City, 7th Regiment passing in view." -- Stereoview with applied paper label on image with title, "Funeral of President Lincoln, N.Y.

Uncredited, but inked on verso, "Military on Broadway" -- Stereoview with title in negative, "Viewing the remains of General Grant, NY," uncredited.
