DescriptionThis is a carte de visite. The David L. Hack Civil War Photography Collection. Photograph showing the side view of a statue of a man standing underneath an elaborate covering held up by Corinthian columns. The entire structure appears to be up on a cement base while the man on the pedestal itself is surrounded by a metal gate. This is from _Gardner's Photographic Sketchbook of the War_ (Hack Collection No. 2].
