A print of a photograph from the ruins of Fort Fisher, North Carolina. Discarded clothing lies in the immediate foreground. A ladder and slight slope lead to a platform where a Union soldier stands next to a destroyed artillery piece. The carriage is on his left and the gun itself lies on the ground on his right. "243" is written on the back. See Jordan, "Timonthy O'Sullivan. America's Forgotten Photographer" p. 88.
