O'Sullivan Photo of Confederate Prisoners
<B>Confederate Prisoners Held at Culpeper Court House, Virginia.</B></I> Timothy O' Sullivan, albumen, 5” x 3.5” sight size, August, 1862. This famous image by a great pioneer of photojournalism shows Confederates captured at the Battle of Cedar Mountain enduring temporary confinement in Culpeper Court House. They stand on the balcony under the steeple and appear to be doing their laundry. Several guards lounge about below while two unconcerned civilians loiter nearby. The far left of this print carries a partial exposure from another frame that shows the rear of a covered wagon. In fine condition, on the reverse there is an erroneous note in pencil 'Warrenton'. <BR><BR> <B>Provenance:</B></I> <I>The Tharpe Collection of American Military History</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Exhibited:</B></I> <I>The Liberty Heritage Society Museum</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Framed - with Glass, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
