Army chapel in the foreground and rows of tents across the rest of the frame make this stereograph a rare view of the Army of the Potomac's headquarters camp at Brandy Station, Virginia, in April 1864. The camp had been a winter base for the army after the battle fought there in June 1863. Photographer T. H. O'Sullivan's glass negative was made as two plates, left and right halves of a stereo pair, so the scene was meant to be viewed in three dimensions. The image was taken as the army was being reorganized for the spring campaign under Ulysses S. Grant.
