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.

Portrait Photo of Civilian Kitchen Workers Posing in A Dining Hall Taken During the Civil War Probably In Washington DC (1865)

 

Portrait of a large group of men, probably civilian kitchen workers, posing in a room which might have been a dining hall, c. 1865. The photograph was probably taken in a building in Washington D.C. towards the end of the Civil War or shortly after when Federal government war effort operations in the city were extensively photographed. I have never come across print version of this photo before. Attributed to Mathew Brady.

Animated stereoview portrait of a group of elderly African Americans said to have been once owned as slaves by George Washington titled "Cooks, chambermaids, nurses and one hostler of Gen. Geo. Washington, found in and around St. Augustine, Florida." Possibly a spurious claim. There are also two younger African Americans and a white woman pictured.
