To the right presumably a group of "contrabands" pause with wooden wheelbarrows stacked with blankets. The location of the partially painted ramshackle buildings is unknown. One clapboard structure bears neatly painted signage as an Eating House. This is likely a post like Vicksburg or somewhere in the deep South where uniformed blacks would be commonplace. An intriguing wartime view lacking only context. Condition: Undamaged albumen with scattered rubs and surface spots G+. with good clarity and sepia tones. Mount is spotted showing heavy foxing as well as damaged corners.
