This print titled "250 Stereographs of US Views, 1850s-90s" takes us back to the enchanting era of the 19th century. The creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to this collection. In this particular image, labeled as "War Views, no. 814" we are transported to a scene filled with athleticism and camaraderie. The photograph showcases a group of men engaged in Gymnastic Field Sports belonging to the gallant 7th regiment. A remarkable four-story pile of men forms a human pyramid that astounds viewers with its sheer audacity and physical prowess. These soldiers exhibit their strength and agility through this impressive display. The black and white albumen silver print captures not only the physicality but also the spirit of these individuals who were part of America's history during a time marked by conflict - the American Civil War.
