- Print. Mounted, sepia-toned photographic print of an event, likely a memorial for Ulysses S. Grant, following his death in 1885, held in Campus Martius around the Michigan Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument. The photo was taken from an elevated position facing southeast. The monument is decorated with banners and flags, and cloths bearing a large letter G which are fastened around the pedestals beneath the eagles. Several people are seated on a stage in front of the monument. A uniformed marching band and a row of uniformed men on horseback are also within a square around the monument circumscribed by a line of men in parade uniforms and helmets. A large crowd spreads outward which consists of well-dressed men (many in boater hats), women, and a few horse carriages. The balconies and windows of the Central Market Building, in the upper left portion of the frame are also packed with spectators, as are the windows of the neighboring building across Cadillac Square at the upper right.
