介绍（中）	1861年，南北战争开始时，邦联政府将首都从阿拉巴马州的蒙哥马利迁至弗吉尼亚州的里士满，以靠近前线，保护里士满的钢铁厂和面粉厂。1865年4月2日，当联邦军队向里士满推进时，罗伯特·E·李将军下令撤离该市。第二天发生了一场大火，这是邦联试图摧毁任何可能对入侵的联邦军队有用的东西的结果。除了消耗了20个平方街区，包括里士满商业区的几乎每一栋建筑外，它还摧毁了位于詹姆斯河上的大型Gallego面粉厂。马修·B·布雷迪的前画廊经理、当时的竞争对手亚历山大·加德纳拍摄了许多"Burnt District"的照片，以及这张用两张玻璃底片拍摄的戏剧性全景。随着时间的推移，烧焦的遗骸已经成为南部邦联垮台和战争彻底破坏的标志性图像。
介绍（英）	In 1861, at the outset of the Civil War, the Confederate government moved its capital from Montgomery, Alabama, to Richmond, Virginia, to be closer to the front and to protect Richmond’s ironworks and flour mills. On April 2, 1865, as the Union army advanced on Richmond, General Robert E. Lee gave the orders to evacuate the city. A massive fire broke out the following day, the result of a Confederate attempt to destroy anything that could be of use to the invading Union army. In addition to consuming twenty square blocks, including nearly every building in Richmond’s commercial district, it destroyed the massive Gallego Flour Mills, situated on the James River and seen here. Alexander Gardner, Mathew B. Brady’s former gallery manager, then his rival, made numerous photographs of the "Burnt District" as well as this dramatic panorama from two glass negatives. The charred remains have become over time an iconic image of the fall of the Confederacy and the utter devastation of war.
