Military ceremony is the subject here. The title places General Kearney's funeral at Arlington Cemetery in 1912, with the 3rd Field Artillery named as part of the scene. Arlington, laid out on the former Lee estate across the Potomac from Washington, had become the nation's main burial ground for soldiers and officers by then. The picture comes from the National Photo Company, a Washington firm known for news photographs of the period. Streaks and blemishes on the 8 by 6 inch glass negative reflect natural deterioration of its coating.
