A wonderful albumen size image of the Parrott rifled cannon, Battery #1 at Yorktown, Virginia.  This is a great looking image!  It is an original Civil War albumen image of a line fort size Parrott patent rifled cannon.  The image shows the row of cannon that appear ready for action.  One thing that is cool about the image is that in the lower left hand corner is a group of the large bolt style Parrott solid shot projectiles known to collectors as "Bolts".  The image is vividly clear and is in superb condition.  The image itself measures 9 inches by 7inches  in size.  The card stock that the photographer mounted the onto measures 11 inches by 9 inches which is a perfect size for framing.  On the back of the card it has in old ink "Battery of "Parrott" Guns"".  It has some more modern notations down in the lower right hand corner.  It states that the negative was done in 1862 by Wood & Gibson and depicts Battery #1 near Yorktown, Virginia.  It adds that the battery held"...six of the heaviest guns ever mounted on land, 1,200 pound Parrott + 5- 100 lbs".  This is a fantastic image that any photo or artillery collector would love to have hanging on their wall.  It would look great beside one of the projectiles like the cannon shot.
