View of a billiard room building on an unidentified plantation in South Carolina, 1860. Taken by Amateur Photographic Exchange Club member Edward Cottenet and originally published as a stereoview. The only other stereoview taken by Cottenet that I can find online is one that features another large tree with other buildings behind it that was probably taken on the same plantation.
Hand-colored portrait of a group posing in front of Natural Bridge in Rockbridge County, Virginia, c. 1859-1860. Attributed to William England. Originally published as a stereoview by London Stereoscopic Company. The man sitting in shadow on a ledge at right might have been a local guide that the photographer had hired while the three posing at the bottom of the gorge might have been tourists.
Portrait of a group posing in front of George Washington's Mount Vernon mansion in Fairfax, Virginia, c. 1859-1860. What looks like a blurry family can be seen sitting on the lawn in front of the second pillar and a man can be seen looking on at far right. At least two ship masts and two wooden planks can be seen holding up the deteriorated left side of the porch. Attributed to either John Wood or Montgomery Meigs.
