Timothy O'Sullivan's photographic print, *[Barges, Transports, and Horses, White House Landing, Pamunkey River, Virginia]*, offers a glimpse into the logistical complexities of the American Civil War (1861-1865). Captured at White House Landing on the Pamunkey River in Virginia, the image showcases a fleet of barges and transports, likely used to move supplies and troops, with a group of horses in the foreground. The composition highlights the wartime use of waterways and the role of transportation in military operations. The photograph is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY.
