The image "Thanksgiving in Camp" by Winslow Homer shows a group of men in 19th-century clothing sitting and standing around in a military camp. Men are gathered around a makeshift table and a fire, with signs indicating a sutler's tent in the background. The men wear caps and jackets, some with epaulets. Most are casually dressed in light pants and boots. The men are either sitting on crates or wooden benches, or standing. The scene includes various objects like a fire pit with a kettle and pot over it, several wooden crates and a tree branch structure. The image background shows additional tents and a cloudy sky. The overall setting appears to be a rustic outdoor military camp during the 1860s. The image is rendered in black and white. The title is placed at the bottom center.
