 View of Zouaves and other soldiers during a parade along Broadway in Baltimore, Maryland, c. 1860s. Attributed to photographer William Chase. The wagon seen at right is possibly a military one. Originally published as a stereoview. NYPL dates this photo to 1880, but I think it was taken much earlier.
