Marshall House, Alexandria, Virginia 1861

Egbert Guy Fowx's "Marshall House, Alexandria, Virginia" (1861) is a striking example of 19th-century American photography. The image depicts the Marshall House, a prominent hotel in Alexandria, Virginia. Fowx captures the building's architectural details, including its brick facade and numerous windows, as well as a group of figures standing on the street. The photograph provides a glimpse into the urban life of Alexandria during the Civil War era. The photograph is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, NY.
