[LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865)]. A rare group of 5 stereoviews featuring the Lincoln funeral procession in Philadelphia. [Philadelphia, PA], [1865].

Approx. 5 3/4 x 3 1/8 in. stereoviews on yellow cardstock mounts with square corners (varying degrees of toning, surface soiling, and wear to mount edges and corners). Uncredited, though likely by Ridgway Glover. One features pencil inscription on verso: "Broad & Prime."

Three of the views appear to be taken from a similar angle but different positions along South Broad Street, each featuring portions of the same building surmounted by an American flag, a sign reading "Union House & Dining Saloon," and draped in mourning cloth.

The fourth image shows the procession, including the catafalque, at the corner of Sixth and Chestnut Street. A large banner for "Head Quarters Maj. Gen. Hancock's 1st Army Corps" hangs from a building to the right, listing the cash amounts for years of service, and an overturned recruitment broadside rests on its side on the street below.

The last image appears to be taken in Independence Square, near Independence Hall, where Lincoln's body lay in state for two days. This image has been elsewhere attributed to James W. Queen.
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
