[AFRICAN AMERICANA] -- [CIVIL WAR]. Cabinet card featuring two African American cooks at camp with Union soldiers and drummer boys.Â
4 x 5 3/4 in. albumen photograph on cardstock mount (toning and significant surface soiling throughout, with wear to mount edges and corners). Ink inscription on verso reads, "S.B. Sullivan (crossed out) / Blumenhour[?]." At center are featured two African American cooks tending to four steaming kettles over a standard army campfire of the same kind referenced and illustrated in Captain James M. Sanderson's "Camp Fires and Camp Cooking; or Culinary Hints for the Soldier," published by the Government Printing Office in 1862. One of the cooks holds a wicker wrapped bottle while the other appears to be using a utensil to check the contents of one of the kettles. A multitude of soldiers stand in a line in the background, looking toward the cooks, and a group of drummers pose with their instruments to the right side of the image.
