This original Civil War albumin is photographer marked by E. L. Wires of Milford, Mass. and titled Encampment of 4th Maine Regiment / Near Fort Lyon, Virginia on its 16 X 10 ¾ inch mount. Best described here as to condition and content by our photo illustrations, this 1861 / 1862 winter camp view is worth a serious look-see as, despite the time worn condition, it offers a rarely captured view of period camp life. Well known to Civil War site digger historians as the 4th Maine site proximity has yielded up a number of VMM plates, this temporary home of the hard fought 4th Maine was located about 2 ½ miles from Alexandria near Fort Lyon. Referred to locally as the Louden’s Hill Encampment it was best known to Mainers as Camp Knox.
Sound with no tears or repairs with crisp focus and sharp contrast in the foreground where it counts, this historic image is clearly not for the condition oriented deep dish photography collector but is worthy of preservation and the appreciation of a committed Civil War historian.
