Here the subject is a named officer, Col. William H. Telford of the 50th Pennsylvania Infantry, rather than a battlefield view, even though the catalog title points to Gettysburg. The negative sleeve dates the portrait to July 1865 and places it in the Washington, D.C., vicinity, so the location is worth checking against other sources. The glass negative was made by the wet collodion process, which required photographers to coat, expose, and develop each plate while it was still wet. The image was once credited to Alexander Gardner, the Washington photographer known for his Civil War work, but that attribution has since been revised.
