A Camp of Wall Tents

Big wall tents in a row with an arbor frame rigged between them and men at ease in the shade — an unidentified camp of the siege summer, in Haas & Peale's series.

Canvas this generous belonged to officers or to a headquarters mess; the enlisted island lived under shelter halves. Nobody in the plate is named, and the camp is not identified — the picture's value is the ordinary comfort it records twenty minutes' walk from the trenches.
