Marked "Plate 24." Winter camp scene. Two soldiers sitting in front of their quarters, which are built with logs plastered with clay, and covered with canvass. The soldier sitting on the drum is playing the old tune on an improvised fiddle made from a cigar box, while the younger sits leaning against the mud chimney, which is crowned with a plowshare to keep the smoke from blowing into the tent. Actual size of the image without the margins is 27.3 x 40.5 cm. Outline from matting is faintly visible. Title and image information taken from the table of contents.
