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.
The place for the most fascinating photographs from history specializing in animating stereoscopic images.

Animated Stereoview Portrait of a Group of Elderly African Americans Said to Have Been Once Owned as Slaves by George Washington (1800's)
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.
