  Funeral for Whitelaw Reid. Looks like they're outside the Cathedral of St. John the Divine.

  captainslack: In this case, the details of the photograph have been included in the above record in the Notes area, and the original title left intact. You'll see by reading the Notes that your conclusions were correct!

  This photo caught my eye because it showed me how customs were back then and how funerals were held. Today we do the same thing, but in this day in age a lot of it seems pretentious. In this photo I see tradition and attention to detail for this fallen man and I also see how people respected the dead.
