Photo of Union Army Cooks of the 43rd New York Infantry Regiment Preparing a Meal in Camp Griffin in Lewinsville, Virginia (1861-1862)

"Culinary art in Camp, 43rd Reg. N.Y. Volunteers." Photo of Union Army cooks of the 43rd New York Infantry Regiment preparing a meal in Camp Griffin in Lewinsville, Virginia, c. 1861-1862. Taken by photographer Charles Bierstadt and originally published as a stereoview. The lattice fence seen in the background of this looks quite similar to the one in the photo of the "hotel" building at Camp Griffin taken by George Houghton, so I surmise this kitchen scene might have been taken nearby, maybe even on the same property.

"On the old fortification at Valley Forge." View of a section of Revolutionary War-era fortifications at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, c. 1862. Taken by Amateur Photographic Exchange Club member Samuel Fisher Corlies. Originally published as a stereoview. I think that the trees look to bare for this to have been taken in May as the Library of Congress site states so probably the May date on the card only pertains to the printing date.
