Library or Congress says: Troops in formation at Camp of the 44th New York Infantry near Alexandria, Va.
Capt. Eugene Arus Nash, A History of the Forty-fourth Regiment New York Volunteer Infantry in the Civil War, 1861-1865, p181: On Sunday, the 20th day of March, an artist came from Bradys famous war-time picture gallery in Washington and took different impressions of the camp from which large pictures were made, many of which are still preserved by members and friends of the regiment. The picture showed the regiment faultlessly formed at dress parade, with the entire camp in the background. Another picture was taken showing the officers present with the regiment in full dress uniform, standing in the central arch.
