Curational comment from "Dawn's Early Light: The First 50 Years of American Photography", October 20, 2011 - May 4, 2012, Hirshland Exhibition Gallery in Carl A. Kroch Library, Cornell University
 
The text on the verso notes that this carte de visite is a copy of an ambrotype found in the hands of Sgt. Humiston of the 154th New York Volunteers, found dead on the Gettysburg battlefield. A Philadelphia physician printed and sold these photographs to raise funds for support and education of the orphans.
