A stereoview depicts the funeral procession of President Abraham Lincoln, showcasing the elaborately adorned catafalque in transit. Lincoln's coffin was borne uptown by Peter Relyea's huge and alaborately decorated hearse, which was drawn by 16 horses. Draped with patriotic banners and accompanied by military guards, the scene is surrounded by onlookers, capturing the solemnity of the occasion.
The back of the stereoview is inscribed with “Abraham Lincoln’s Catafalque,” adding further historical significance. A catafalque is the stand a coffin would be placed on while a person is lying in state. The card’s vibrant green border and intricate photographic details make it an exceptional artifact commemorating the nation's collective mourning in the wake of Lincoln's assassination.
Published by E. & H. T. Anthony & Co., known for documenting iconic moments of 19th-century America, this stereoview offers a unique glimpse into the profound public response to one of the most tragic events in U.S. history. The photographer was probably George Stacy (1831–1897) a well known Civil War photographer.
