Cheering crowds and a marching band greet a regiment in formation, stopping for some nourishment on their way to the front. "Employed nearly a bird's-eye perspective to suggest the impressive numbers of Union soldiers who were welcomed and fed at Philadelphia's Refreshment Saloon in the spring of 1861. . . . The slant-roofed building just behind the train station is the Refreshment Saloon itself, which offered both food and drink"--Neely & Holzer, Union Image, page 98 and plate 6.
