Image of possible outdoor Confederate foundry

I guess I'd like to know more about why he labels this picture in this way, but for what it is worth, a very unique image:

[Texas Confederate Foundry, View 1]

http://digitalcollections.smu.edu/cdm4/item_viewer.php?CISOROOT=/jtx&CISOPTR=362&CISOBOX=1&REC=4

Cased image of a Confederate foundry, apparently operating with slave labor. The image shows men standing on the roof of the foundry, most of whom are wearing the leather aprons necessary for foundry work. This image is one of a series of four depicting this subject matter.

I guess it's not new news that Lawrence T. Jones' (Confederate Calendar) collection has been digitized by Southern Methodist University in Dallas; scans are available online here:
