Notes:

Depicts the Great Central Fair in aid of the U. S. Sanitary Commission, in Logan Square, June 1864. The thoroughfares which form the extreme foreground are Nineteenth and Vine Streets. The door facing this intersection is at the northwest corner of the Square, and the perspective sweeps in a southerly and eastwardly direction over the roofs and spires of the city. The great cathedral basilica of SS Peter & Paul looms up in the background on the left hand side of the picture.
