Lot of 4. Each 10.25 x 13.25 in. on approx. 14 x 17 in. mounts. Includes: Grove Camp near Newberne, N.C.; one with rows of log cabins with chimneys; label on verso with Dead Union Soldier on the Field at Gettysburg, Showing Effect of a Shell;and on recto in lower margin: Capt. Henry Wirz. Superintending the burial of dead union soldiers in trenches, near the Andersonville Prison pen, Wirz stands at the side of the trench with cap on. He was a red headed dutchman and very cruel to the prisoners and the only man executed after the war; on verso label there is a manuscript note in red ink on a label with similar note to above, "Leander Farnham, Company A, 1st Vermont Artillery, August 16, 1864, Riddle Photo."

Condition: All with some water stains along margins. Most don't impact prints. There are a few stains along right lower side of last.Second with two spots in the sky that appear to be tape residue.
