1862 Barnard & Gibson image
Wet plate, albumen photograph, mounted to 2 1/2 x 4 card. Imprint on the front mount, Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1862, by Barnard & Gibson, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Columbia. Partial imprint on the verso, Headquarters Lafayette-Headquarters General Porter. Farnhold's House and York River in the Distance.
This view shows Union soldiers, and negro servants in the foreground in front of a wooden building with a portico at the entrance. A large Union camp is visible in the background with numerous tents. The top part of the photographic label on the reverse has been lifted off. The name "Adelbert" is written in old period ink at that part. [This is Brady view No. 370]. The bottom part reads, Headquarters Lafayette-Headquarters Gen'l Porter, Farnold's House and York River in the Distance. The reference to Lafayette in the imprint is that of the Marquis de Lafayette. He apparently used this building for his headquarters during the Virginia campaign in the American Revolution circa 1781. General Porter is Fitz John Porter. Light age toning, and wear to the corners of the card, and the verso. Nice content.
