View of a crowd in along Main Street in front of the Spotswood Hotel said to be there to greet Jefferson Davis in Richmond, Virginia, presumably shortly after his release from Federal custody in the city in May 1867. This information comes from a note on the back of the card. I could not find any other corroboration that the photo shows a crowd waiting for Davis. Taken by photographer D. H. Anderson and originally published as a stereoview.
The place for the most fascinating photographs from history specializing in animating stereoscopic images.
