This wonderful, original flat mount stereo photo measures approx. 7\" by 4\" and is mounted on its original, orange colored card mount. Printed text on the front of the card mount identifies the Stereoview as being from Mathew Brady\'s series of Views titled \"The War For the Union\". The image is titled below the images on the card mount “827. 1st Massachusetts Cavalry Camp in the Woods”. There is printed text on the reverse that reads “827. 1st Massachusetts Cavalry Camp in the Woods. / This is a view of Companies C and D, 1st Massachusetts Cavalry. It will be of special interest to survivors of those companies”.
The Stereoview depicts a row of field tents in a wooded area with a number of cavalry soldiers gathered in front of their tents and looking toward the photographer. There are a number of cavalry saddles and other tack visible in the view.
This Photograph was taken by Mathew Brady and first published by E. & H. T. Anthony & Co. Brady\'s negatives were obtained by John C. Taylor of Hartford, Connecticut who republished some of the views (including this one) in the years following the War.
This very rare and original, 1860’s Union Cavalry Field Camp Stereoview Photo is in very good condition.
