Relics of Andersonville Prison 1866

"Relics of Andersonville Prison" is a stark photograph by Brady & Co. taken in 1866. The photograph depicts a collection of objects found at Andersonville Prison, a Confederate prison camp notorious for its inhumane conditions. These relics, including eating utensils, tools, and even a "dead line" marker, offer a chilling glimpse into the harsh realities faced by Union prisoners during the Civil War. The photograph was likely intended to expose the atrocities committed at Andersonville and serve as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war.
