FOUR DIFFERENT LITHOGRAPHS were made depicting the parade that took place in Baltimore. The lithograph by James C. Beard was recently reprinted in London. Because it had originally been printed in New York, it was believed to be a representation of a parade there. Historians in Maryland knew better, spotting Baltimore's Washington Monument at its center.
