(MILITARY--CIVIL WAR.) PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALEXANDER GARDNER AND MATHEW BRADY. Sheet with ten albumen carte-de-visite photographs of war scenes from 1862, each with ink caption. These images seem to have never been attached to card-mounts; instead they have been affixed to a large folio sheet, spaces to the right indicate the removal of several images of Union generals; the reverse has eleven more period images, many tinted (not war scenes) of the period including a very nice carte-de-visite image titled "Emancipation." should be seen. Vp, circa 1862
