Wagon [Carrying Painting?]

The wagon appears to be transporting a large painting, an activity possibly relating to one of the "Sanitary Fairs" held in several northern cities to raise money for the U. S. Sanitary Commission, a precursor of the Red Cross. These fairs exhibited artwork in addition to displays of technology and handicraft. This painting closely resembles Frederic Church's "The Heart of the Andes" which was exhibited in at least one "Sanitary Fair" venue, New York City in March, 1864.
