Re: Cook and cook ware photos?
Two possibilities:
1. It's a modern repro image that got slipped in somehow
OR
2. It may be one of a series of at least three "staged" images taken early in the war. Indeed, the man wearing the overcoat on the extreme right appears to be posing as "dead" in an image traditionally captioned "Confederate Dead at Matthew's Hill." William Frassanito discusses these images in, as I recall, his book on Antietam photography originally published in the mid-1970's.
