Civil War-era albumen CDV of a photo tent emblazoned PICTURES across the broad side and Headquarters for Photographs/ Bonsall & Gibson on the entrance, with the photographers (presumably) posed in front. Behind the tent is a tall photo wagon painted with the name of another noted Cincinnati photographer, Charles Waldack, and advertising All Styles, All Kinds of Photographs. Carte's verso bears the imprint of Dewey & Gibson, who operated a photograph studio at 102 W. Fifth Street in downtown Cincinnati. A different view of the same photograph tent is shown in a quarter plate ambrotype, dated 1863, which was displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 2013 as part of the exhibit "Photography and the American Civil War." That information, along with the scenery in the background of the photograph, which includes several other tents, makes it likely that this scene was captured at Camp Dennison, the Civil War recruiting and training camp 15 miles east of Cincinnati along the line of the Little Miami Railroad.
