New York Herald Headquarters 1863

This photograph, "New York Herald Headquarters," by Timothy O'Sullivan, was taken in 1863 and is an example of Civil War photography. It captures the camp of the New York Herald during the American Civil War. The scene is set in a wooded area, with tents, a wagon, and several figures visible. O'Sullivan's work as a photographer for Alexander Gardner's photographic team, documenting the war, helped to bring the realities of the conflict to the public eye. This photograph, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies O'Sullivan's talent for capturing the details of camp life, contributing to a greater understanding of the war's impact.
