I was amazed at the clarity of this image.  There is considerable fading, but it’s impressively sharp for the time.

Servants at Prince de Joinville's quarters

1862 May - Servants at Prince's Headquarters. In the vicinity of Yorktown, Virginia.

This image was in amazing condition, large and clear. No flaws were removed or adjustments made beyond the aligning of the two sides of the stereo image. The full size from LoC is striking. I’m guessing left to right a cook, wait staff, washer, and weapon smith?   I have no idea, somebody educate me.
