Although entitled *Cathedral, Baltimore,* this stereograph focuses on the isolated individual in the foreground, not on the barely visible towers of the cathedral. In highlighting the figure of an anonymous African American man, the artist may have been alluding to Baltimore's role as a haven for freed slaves in the pre-Civil War era.
