description

Summary

Stereograph showing a group of veteran Union soldiers imprisoned during the Civil War in various Confederate prisons, Andersonville, Libby, Belle Isle, and Florence, gathered for a reunion. The portrait was possibly taken during the 18th National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic in Minneapolis in 1884.

Copyright August 27, 1884 by D.W. Webb of Minneapolis (306 Nicollet Ave.)

Forms part of: Civil War Photograph Collection (Library of Congress).

During the Civil War, photographers produced thousands of stereoviews. Stereographs were popular during American Civil War. A single glass plate negative capture both images using a Stereo camera. Prints from these negatives were intended to be looked at with a special viewer called a stereoscope, which created a three-dimensional ("3-D") image. This collection includes glass stereograph negatives, as well as stereograph card prints.
