View of the commissary at the headquarters of the Army of the Potomac near Brandy Station, Virginia. The two log buildings are surrounded by trees and tents, as well as large wooden barrels, in stacks and rows, and wooden crates on both sides. A group of soldiers stand in front of the building waiting for rations as a man wearing an apron carves slices of meat to be weighed and distributed.
