View of three men posing in front of a tent that serves as headquarters of the Christian Commission at a Union Army encampment. The tent sits with open flaps below a makeshift cover made of narrow tree trunks topped with evergreen tree branches. A painted sign hangs from the covering, which winds past other tents at the encampment. A man leans against a covered wagon that sits to the right of the tent with the words "U. S. Christian Commission" painted on the side.
