Albumen photograph, 8-1/4”x6-3/4”, titled “Ambulance Drill”, with caption reading “This view shows the method of removing the wounded from the field by the ambulance corps. In no previous war in the history of the world was so much done to alleviate suffering as in the war of 1861-1865. But notwithstanding all that was done, the wounded suffered horribly. After any great battle it required several days and nights of steady work ere all the wounded were gathered up, and no pen or tongue can tell how they suffered while waiting for the ambulance corps.” From the Taylor & Huntington series of “Original Photographs Taken During the War of 1861 -1865 by M.B. Brady and Alex. Gardner, Authorized Government Photographers.” c. 1870’s. Fine.
