The stereograph looks north up North Charles Street in Baltimore, with the archbishop's residence of Cardinal James Gibbons in the left foreground and the Washington Monument rising beyond it. Gibbons led the Archdiocese of Baltimore for decades and was made a cardinal in 1886, so his home was a well-known address in the city. The monument at Mount Vernon Place, a Doric column topped by a statue of George Washington, was completed in 1829 and was among the first such memorials to the first president. Underwood & Underwood issued cards like this one for viewing in a stereoscope, which made city streets appear three-dimensional to home viewers in the early 1900s.
