There are several thousand negatives in the vaults that have not yet been
catalogued. No negative is registered until its authenticity is proved
beyond a doubt. The testimony of hundreds of veterans is secured in
many instances before the locality of the negative is established. The
warriors who participated in these scenes are fast passing away and the work of
identification is progressing as rapidly as absolute accuracy will allow. At the
National Encampment at Saratoga hundreds of "unknown" negatives were identified
by soldiers who saw them taken and offered their affidavits. Requests have
been received from Grand Army Posts for enlargements of the rare photographs
of Lincoln in the tent with McClellan at Antietam, of the Armies in Camp, and
other views, the existence of which has been hitherto unknown. Mr. Eaton
authorizes the enlargement of any negative for this purpose, providing that it is
to be treasured in the hall of a Grand Army Post. All requests must be sent
direct, accompanied by references, and no enlargement will be allowed until it
bears the written signature of Edward B. Eaton, Hartford, Connecticut.
DEDICATED
TO THE
AMERICAN SOLDIER
THE REMARKABLE PHOTOGRAPH WAS TAKEN AT ANTIETAM IN OCTOBER, 1862, AND SHOWS PRESIDENT
LINCOLN IN CENTER, MAJ. ALLAN PINKERTON ON LEFT AND GEN. JOHN A. McCLERNAND ON
RIGHT.
