Catalogue Note
First edition. A fine detailed and vividly colored panorama, showing the funeral procession of the Duke of Wellington. Captioned at the foot are the names of mourners, heads of state, officials, regiments, etc. in the procession. Measuring over 65 feet, this is the longest continuous strip view listed by Abbey; it out-distances the one produced for Queen Victoria's coronation by about seven feet.
