A column of marching soldiers fills the width of a city avenue, with crowds lining both sidewalks to watch. The gallery files the picture under Abraham Lincoln, which points to the Civil War years, when troops moved through Northern cities in large processions and crowds turned out to see them off or welcome them home. The record does not name the street, city, or date, so the exact occasion is unconfirmed. Still, the scene reflects how public marches of this kind drew civilians into the streets during a period when the war was felt in everyday life.
