Confederate prisoner of war wears a tattered

Confederate prisoner of war wears a tattered and worn uniform, at Fort Lookout, Maryland, c. 1863-65. He sits holding a piece of paper, with his legs crossed, and a open toed show under the chair. The southern economy could not supply standard uniforms, so soldiers mended, stole, and removed clothing from enemy dead. An inscription on the back of the photo reads, A rebel prisoner getting his likeness taken to send home. Photo by Lafayette V. Newell
