The name S.W. Crawford comes from a sleeve note that has not been verified, so it should be read with that caution. The negative is dated 1860, the year before the Civil War began, and was made with the wet collodion process, which required the glass plate to be coated, exposed, and developed while still wet. The photographer, D. B. Woodbury, died in 1866. The plate is part of a Civil War glass negative collection, so it is a prewar image that later entered the wartime photographic record.
