Image of an artillery battery behind entrenchments. The men in the foreground adjust their gun, while others in the background prepare to fire theirs. Three cannons and about a hundred soldiers are visible. Fredericksburg lies in the background, meaning that the battery is located on Stafford Heights. The photograph was taken during the Second Battle of Fredericksburg, also known as the Second Battle of Marye's Heights, part of the Chancellorsville Campaign. A label below the image bears the title and subtitle. The subtitle reads "Fredericksburgh, May 3, 1863."
