- Lot Description
Albumen photograph, 7 x 9 in., on 13.5 x 9 in. mount with the imprinted title Head-Quarters New York Herald, Army of the Potomac. Bealton [sic], September, 1863, negative by T.H. O'Sullivan, positive by Alexander Gardner, Washington, DC, 1866. The photograph was published as Plate No. 56 in Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book of the War, and presents a view of an encampment serving as the temporary headquarters for the New York Herald near Bealeton, VA. A carriage is visible at right, with painted sign, "N.Y.H. Headquarters." A group of men, likely the Herald's corps of newspaper correspondents, and their horses stand together at the encampment, looking directly at the camera. Accompanied by original descriptive panel, which notes that the New York Herald was "the first and only journal to organize a corps of correspondents who might live independent of the officers, and conduct the system successfully to the close of the war."
