Antique 8-piece stereoview photograph lot showing a massive parade through New York City. Each card is printed “American Views” along the sides and “Parade. New York City.” beneath the photographs.
Research indicates these views are consistent with the Washington Inaugural Centennial celebration held in New York City in 1889, commemorating the 100th anniversary of George Washington's inauguration as the first U.S. president. The celebration included extensive military and civic parades, and surviving stereoview collections document the Centennial procession, including military formations, West Point cadets, artillery, firemen and other participants.
The photographs show enormous crowds lining the streets and multiple military-style formations progressing through Manhattan, photographed from elevated vantage points. Several are different views of the procession, making this an especially interesting group for studying the scale of the event.
8 stereoviews total. All have blank backs. No photographer or publisher other than the printed “American Views” designation is identified on the cards.
Condition is antique with overall toning, fading, scattered spotting/soiling and expected edge and corner wear. Image strength varies, with some views considerably lighter than others. Backs show toning and minor marks. Please examine all photographs carefully for condition.
