A military caisson, drawn by horses and flanked by an honor guard and pallbearers, carries the casket of President Warren G. Harding at the White House entrance in August 1923. Harding had died suddenly in San Francisco on August 2 while on a tour of the West, and his body was returned to Washington for a public funeral. Horse-drawn caissons were the traditional vehicle for presidential and military funerals, and the slow, measured pace of the procession was part of the ceremony. The picture captures one of the final public moments of the national mourning for the 29th president.
