Animated stereoscopic photographs of Union troops passing by and civilian spectators in front front of the presidential reviewing stand near the White House during the Grand Review of the Armies in Washington, D.C., in May 23/24, 1865. More than 145,000 troops from three different Federal armies participated in the review which took place a few weeks after major fighting of the American Civil War had ended. Most of the men would be mustered out of service and return to civilian life in the weeks after the review. The Grand Review of the Armies was possibly the most photographed single historical event in up to that point in history. The images were taken by photographers employed by Mathew Brady.
