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.
