Shows a large group of Confederate prisoners posing in front of the barracks at Camp Douglas, a prison camp located outside of Chicago. What appears to be a fire hydrant can be seen in the bottom center of the image. The image is faded and mounted on muslin cloth. It bears the stamp of the Century Co. on the back and the crop markings on the front match the image used in their Photographic History of the Civil War (reprinted by the Blue and Gray Press). Written at Camp Douglas.
