6 1/4 x 3 1/8 in. stereoview on cardstock mount (light toning, wear including paper loss to mount edges and corners). Series imprint, image number, and caption on mount recto. Full image and series descriptions on verso, including: "This view gives a glimpse of the bomb-proofs in which our soldiers tried to live, during the long siege at Petersburg, 1864-1865; the camp-fire and the coffee-kettle look as familiar as in those days of yore."

A group of African American soldiers sits at the mouth of an earthen dwelling, while one man below stands over a pot, presumably making coffee.
