DescriptionSepia-tone photograph of military ceremony at Civil War Soldiers' Monument, Hudson Square Park, Hoboken, no date, probably May 1905. 7-3/8" x 9-3/8" wide print on photographer's fancy 12" x 14" mounting board. Photograph taken by Conrad Magnus, Artistic Photographer, Hoboken, N.J. (blind emboss at lower right.) Reverse blank. View is of an honor guard plus a military unit performing a gun salute in front of the monument erected in the park (they are facing west.) Note that the two cannons from the U.S.N. Portsmouth (II) are in place flanking the memorial. While undated, the bare ground around the cannons (grass has generally not yet re-grown around them) and the wheel chocks would seem to indicate that they were recently placed there which was commemorated in a 1905 ceremony.
