The Fathers and Saviors of Our Country: A Presidential Sale

5 stereoviews on yellow mounts, 2 with printed "Schreiber & Glover" labels on versos, and one with partly printed label for R. Newell accomplished in ink.

Includes: A view of the funeral procession, including the hearse completely surrounded by people, at the corner of Sixth and Chestnut Street. A large banner for "Head Quarters Maj. Gen. Hancock's 1st Army Corps" hangs from a building to the right and an overturned recruitment broadside rests on its side on the street below. Paper label on verso credits the view to Schreiber & Glover, Philadelphia. -- A view from nearly the same vantage point as the previous image, though with the "Chestnut St." sign in view to the left. The hearse is in nearly the same position, but a group of soldiers hold the crowds at a distance. Paper label on verso credits the view to Schreiber & Glover, Philadelphia. Pencil inscription also on verso reads, "Soldiers holding back the crowds as hearse waited outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia (at left)." -- A view of the hearse making its way along South Broad Street, surrounded by people on all sides, and with additional onlookers gathered on rooftops. Uncredited, though likely by Ridgway Glover. -- Another view of Broad Street, not showing the hearse but featuring a long row of soldiers and crowd of civilians awaiting the arrival of the funeral train. The soldiers are identified elsewhere as part of the 9th Union League. Uncredited though likely by Ridgway Glover. -- A view of a many-windowed building abundantly festooned with American flags and patriotic bunting. Identified on paper label on verso as the "Residence of Lieu't General Grant As it appeared April 15th 1865" and credited to R. Newell, Philadelphia. -- Together, 5 stereoviews.
