Object Details

The large crowd serves as a depth-creating visual device in this view of President Cleveland’s inauguration on the East Front of the Capitol. Significant events were increasingly popular subjects for steroviews in the later years of the 19th-century, as opposed to staged narratives and virtual tours of famous sights that had dominated the market in earlier decades.
