Description:
Sepia-toned photo mounted on a black cabinet card with gold trim bearing an image taken during the 1891 National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic in Detroit. A triumphal arch has been erected over Woodward Avenue, between John R Street and Witherell Street with several flags displayed on top and on both its piers. A pair of streetcar tracks extend from the camera toward the horizon, and a horse-drawn streetcar passes under the arch, approaching the camera. The buildings along Woodward, including the store of C.W. Maynard, Druggist, are draped with flags and striped banners. "Woodward Ave. Detroit. Arch erected for G.A.R. meet there. City crowded. I'm Lisbon, Ohio, returned to Detroit right after this reunion of Grand Army of the Republic (Civil War veterans)" handwritten on verso.
