The Fathers and Saviors of Our Country: A Presidential Sale

10 stereoviews on yellow mounts, 7 having printed E. & H. T. Anthony & Co. paper labels affixed to verso. Comprising:

3 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 2950, 2952, and 2958, respectively. -- 2 views showing different sides of Broadway Street, with buildings draped in mourning. The first, numbered 2972 and titled "Up Broadway, From Below Wall Steet [sic]," 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 4956 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, "City, Military on B. way, No. 345." -- A compelling view of crowds outside of the heavily draped and wrapped City Hall, with large letters spelling out "The Nation Mourns" prominently placed above the entrance. Uncredited. According to Twenty Days, this image was taken after Lincoln's coffin was carried up the steps and into the building, where his body would lie in state for viewing. -- An up-close view of the hearse, ornately decorated with black feathers, drapery, and flags. Uncredited by inked on verso, "Lincolns Catafalque, No 586." -- Together, 10 stereoviews.
