View of the Grand Music Band

Image

Quite possibly this is the "View of the Grand Music Band" listed in the "Centennial Views of the City of Madison, July 4th, 1876. Views of Chicago Light Guard" section of Dahl's 1877 "Catalogue of Stereoscopic Views." It appears to be a Marine Corps band encamped at Camp Randall or near Lake Monona in Madison in preparation for the Centennial Celebration on July 4, 1876. The men stand in ranks with their band instruments, their leader is in the foreground and tents are behind them.
