- Lot Description
Albumen photograph, 10.5 x 13 in., on 11 x 14.25 in. mount, with ink caption,
Bonsall (1833-1909), an ambrotypist and photographer active in Leavenworth, Kansas, ca 1859-1860, Kansas City, Kansas in 1860, and Cincinnati, Ohio, ca 1862-1863, served in the Army of the Cumberland as a photographer beginning in September 1862. He apprenticed under Mathew Brady. Initially, his duties were to photograph maps at their headquarters in Cincinnati, but he later traveled with the army to Tennessee, broadening his subjects to include portraiture and Civil War-related landscapes. During the Union Army's six-month siege of Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1863, Bonsall spent much of his time photographing the areas surrounding nearby battle sites, including Lookout Mountain, where the Army of the Cumberland contributed to the Union victory on November 24, 1863. (Information obtained from The Metropolitan Museum of Art Website, June 20, 2017.)
Mount trimmed along each edge, and it appears that top edge of photograph also slightly trimmed. Water stain in lower right corner of photo and mount and along bottom edge. Light water staining along right edge of mount as well.Condition
