A carriage mishap sets this scene apart: the record describes the Crown Princess stepping into the King's carriage after an accident to her own. Stereo cards like this one, issued by Underwood & Underwood under publisher J.F. Jarvis, let parlor viewers see a street event in depth by pairing two nearly identical photographs in a viewer. The caption card places the scene in Athens in 1897, the year of the brief Greco-Turkish War, when public processions and royal appearances drew crowds and press attention. The Independence Day label comes from old, unverified caption data, so it is worth reading with some caution.
