介绍（中）	这张小而坦率的照片——可能是半立体视图——提供了一个典型的战争后期联邦将军会议的"快照"，即弗吉尼亚州马萨波纳克斯附近的一个田野上的"战争委员会"。混乱的研究是任何联盟摄影师最大胆的研究之一。为了创作它，蒂莫西·H·奥沙利文（Timothy H. O'Sullivan）将他的设备运送到浸信会教堂画廊的上层窗户上，该窗户提供了一个有用的高架视角来观看场景。尤利西斯·格兰特（Ulysses S. Grant）的士兵拆除了教堂的长椅，并将它们放在树下;参谋人员围拢讨论情况。有证据表明，这对联邦军队来说是灾难性的一天，因为损失惨重，没有获得任何战略优势。背景是一排排的马车和救护车，为第二天的交战和伤员运送物资到野战医院。在前景中，格兰特将军弯腰坐在长椅上，侧过头看着波托马克军团团长乔治·米德将军腿上的一张大地图。
介绍（英）	This small, candid photograph—likely a half-stereo view—offers an illuminating “snapshot” of a typical late war meeting of Union generals, a “Council of War,” in a field near Massaponax, Virginia. The chaotic study is one of the most daring made by any Union photographer. To compose it, Timothy H. O’Sullivan transported his equipment to an upper window in the gallery of a Baptist church that offered a useful elevated perspective from which to view the scene. Ulysses S. Grant’s soldiers have removed the church pews and placed them under the trees; staff officers gather around to discuss the situation. Evidence suggests that it had been a disastrous day for the Union troops, as the losses were heavy and no strategic advantage had been gained. In the background are rows of horse-drawn baggage wagons and ambulances transporting supplies for the next day’s engagement and the wounded to field hospitals. In the foreground General Grant bends over a pew and looks over his shoulder at a large map held in the lap of General George Meade, head of the Army of the Potomac.
