A view of the memorial to General and President Ulysses S. Grant in Lincoln Park in Chicago. The memorial is built from large stones, with a covered area surmounted by an equestrian statue, depicting Grant as a soldier. There are people in the archways that line the covered area, and a couple with an umbrella walking along a path in the foreground. One of forty-eight glass plate negatives originally housed together with a note by Latta reading "Frank Robinson Merced Area Misc. Unidentified." More than half of the images feature the World's Columbian Exposition, held in Chicago in 1893, or the California Midwinter International Exposition, held in San Francisco in 1894, hence the suggested date.
