    WHL Prisoner photo?

    Hi from sweden!

    I am new to this forum, have just come home from service overseas serving along side US troops!!

    have a question regarding the "WHL confederate prisoners photo"
    Is there any way i could find the TIFF verson of this photo on the internet??
    or does any of you gents have a real good copy(great if it would be a cleaned up one to send me)

    this and the F-burg trestle photo one of the best i have seen on CS troops in the field !!, but all the copys i have found are realy bad and you can not make out much detail!!

    BTW have somebody the answer to what troops that it concerns, i know it is taken of troops captured at Cold harbor!!, but any idea of the unit??

    Thanks again and happy to be on the forum!!

    Hi, Sweden!

    I'd be glad to try to help you but I have no idea what photo you are referring to. Is there any chance you can be more specific?

    regards

          Nicholas,

          There may not be a high resolution of the White House Landing photo to be had. Bill Frassantio, in his book Grant and Lee: The Vigrinia Campaigns, 1864-1865 (1983), states:


          "Today among the rarest of all Civil War photographs, only one original version of view 6, a plate, is currently known to exist..."
          -- page 172


          The original that Frassanito examined, almost 25 years ago, was owned by the Americana Image Gallery in Gettysburg, Penn. I'm unfamiliar with that collection, which suggests that it may no longer exist, in which case, the current location of the photo may be unknown.

          The photo is reproduced in Francis T. Miller, ed. The Photographic History of the Civil War (1911), which is where I believe Bob Denton probably scanned his copy. Scanning the photo from the book may be best that currently can be done.
