One of Brady's finest photographs at Gettysburg was this one. Three Confederate prisoners, dressed in classic Rebel uniforms, their dignity and bearing intact, posed for his camera near the Lutheran Theological Seminary on Seminary Ridge before being moved out of the town. This is one of the best known photographic records of Confederate uniforms. Although the caption says these men were captured during Pickett's Charge, they were probably stragglers who were picked up along one of the roads outside the city. This image was taken on or around July 15, 1863, some 12 days after Pickett's Charge. This example has a "Sights and Scenes From The Battlefield Of Gettysburg" paper label on the verso. In fine condition save for a bump on the back, which has caused a small bump in the field of the image. The piece has excellent detail and clarity
