Labeled for the Palmetto Battery, this view shows Confederate artillerymen posed near Charleston, South Carolina, a city that endured a long Union siege during the war. The photographer is recorded only as Cook, most likely George S. Cook, a Charleston studio photographer who recorded the city's defenses and soldiers. The date is given as 1863 with a question mark, and the print was made later, so the exact moment is uncertain. Still, the picture reflects the posed group portraits that made wartime artillery units familiar to people far from the front.
