An E. & H. T. Anthony & Co. “War Views” stereoview of Army of the Potomac camp cooking, showing men gathered around suspended kettles beside a rough plank-roofed shelter.

Published by E. & H. T. Anthony & Co. of New York as no. 1502 in the “War Views” series, this stereoview depicts camp cooking in the Army of the Potomac. Men in caps and brimmed hats gather around kettles suspended from a horizontal pole, with smaller vessels on the ground and a rough plank-roofed shelter among the trees. The paired photographs are mounted on yellow card with rounded corners, bearing a printed publisher’s label with the address 501 Broadway, New-York. The scene records the improvised cooking arrangements and daily provisioning of a Civil War army camp.
