Around the time of the dedication of the Monument to the 1st NY Dragoons, a photograph of the new monument was published along with a list of the monument committee and a brief history of the Civil War unit. It is likely that this mounted photograph served as a souvenir for the reunions that were held nearby.

The photograph, along with the original captioning, is found below. A copy of the caption follows the image.
