Image of a parade thrown in honor of Admiral George Dewey. Dewey stands up in the carriage, facing the crowds. President William McKinley sits beside him. A mass of people has gathered on the streets to welcome the admiral, and some lean out of windows waving handkerchiefs. Later the same day, McKinley presented Dewey with a ceremonial sword in recognition of his accomplishments. This parade in Washington, D.C. was preceded by a much larger two day celebration in New York City at the end of September. The mount bears some large water stains.
