Nameless Camp Photographic Print

Very Good. A 19th century photographic print of an unknown semi-permanent camp on the plains, likely located in the United States. Photographer is unknown. Albumen print is mounted and measures 7 ½" x 6" without mount and 12" x 10" with mount. In very good condition. Print has light silvering; mount has light wear to all edges. The mysterious camp seems to be semi-permanent. A few wooden buildings, eight canvas tents, some with chimneys, a well and a long wooden trough are the basis of the camp. Numerous wagons and men occupy the camp. Teams of 3 and 4 horses are either hitched to wagons or are led by men; wagons are not hauling anything and nothing is visible in the wagon beds; one horse and buggy is parked next to a tent. A faint road is visible in the background, traveling over the rolling hills and fading into the distance. No signs or distinguishing natural features occupy the image. Possibly this semi-permanent camp was established as a restock or refit station for expeditions, the army or other groups. An intriguing image of an unidentified camp. .
