Portrait of a large group posing in front of the City Hotel (right) and Old Powder Magazine (left) in Williamsburg, Virginia, c. 1870s. This could possibly be the earliest surviving photo of the magazine which was the focal point of the 1775 Gunpowder Incident, a very early event in the Revolutionary War which is largely forgotten today. The photo was originally published by photography firm Anderson & Ennis as a stereoview.
