Photo Portrait of Attendees and Exhibits at the National Fair in the Old Patent Office Building in Washington DC (1864)

 

Portrait of attendees and exhibits at the National Fair in the Old Patent Office Building in Washington, D.C., 1864. This seems to have been a smaller and much less well known version of a sanitary fair held in various Northern and Midwestern cities during the American Civil War to raise funds to support Union troops. According to the American Presidency Project, President Abraham Lincoln attended this fair and gave a short speech at it on March 16, 1864. Originally published as a stereoview by Bell & Bro. This is the only photograph of the event I have come across.

View of Zouaves and other soldiers during a parade along Broadway in Baltimore, Maryland, c. 1860s. Attributed to photographer William Chase. The wagon seen at right is possibly a military one. Originally published as a stereoview. NYPL dates this photo to 1880, but I think it was taken much earlier.

Update: Posts by Ross Kelbaugh and Ron Field on Facebook seem to date this photo to 1867 or 1868. The 6th Maryland Regiment is wearing the Zouave uniforms while the 5th Maryland Regiment (visible in the distance) is wearing gray uniform.
