Stone Wall, Rear of Fredericksburg, with Rebel Dead

Andrew Joseph Russell

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a battlefield trench lined with objects. The image captures a scene along a dirt trench, bordered by a stone wall on one side, and marked by scattered items like rifles, hats, and pieces of cloth. The stone wall extends into the distance alongside a path that fades into the horizon amid barren trees. The photograph is taken in a sepia tone.
