Occupational portrait of three farm workers posing with scythes in a field on a farm said to have been taken somewhere in the United States, c. 1855-1865. Another man is sitting in a wagon in the background. I think it is more likely that the men are British farm workers somewhere in Great Britain because of their outfits.

View of a Parade of Zouaves and Other Soldiers on Broadway in Baltimore, Maryland, Taken a Few Years After the Civil War (1868)

  

 

View of Zouaves and other soldiers during a parade along Broadway in Baltimore, Maryland, c. 1860s. Attributed to photographer William Chase. The wagon seen at right is possibly a military one. Originally published as a stereoview. NYPL dates this photo to 1880, but I think it was taken much earlier.

Update: Posts by Ross Kelbaugh and Ron Field on Facebook seem to date this photo to 1867 or 1868. The 6th Maryland Regiment is wearing the Zouave uniforms while the 5th Maryland Regiment (visible in the distance) is wearing gray uniform.
