Review of Federal troops on the 4th of July by President Lincoln and General Scott; the Garibaldi Guard filing past / from a sketch by our special artist.
Summary
Print shows uniformed men of the Garibaldi Guard Regiment, New York Volunteers marching past President Abraham Lincoln and General Winfield Scott during a parade of 20,000 troops in Washington, D.C. A large American flag waves above the reviewing stand, while a soldier walks with the Italian "Dio e Popolo" flag. The Illustrated London News description mentions: "As each company came in front of General Scott the men took the green sprigs they had fastened amid their cock feathers and threw them towards the old chieftan. The Garibaldi Guard is composed of Hungarians, Germans, Swiss, Italians, and French, and they are uniformed after the fashion of the Sardinian Bersaglieri."
