The only identifying detail is the label "Stoneman USA" on the negative sleeve, and the record notes that this title is unverified. The glass plate was made by David B. Woodbury, who died in 1866, using the wet collodion process, in which the plate had to be coated, exposed, and developed while still wet. Dated 1860, it predates the 1861 outbreak of the Civil War, so it belongs to the collection as a view of the years just before the conflict rather than of the fighting itself.
