Among the Tennessee Centennial views, this stereograph stands out for its focus on Irish-American Day, when a procession of horses and carriages moved through Nashville. The Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition opened in 1897 to mark the state's first hundred years since its admission to the Union in 1796, drawing visitors to exhibition grounds and special observances. Stereo cards like this one were sold in sets and viewed through a stereoscope, which gave the carriages and crowds a sense of depth. The catalog notes for this card are unverified, so the exact route and participants are not recorded here.
