Subject matter includes studio portraits, military activities, and landscapes.

Lot also includes a mounted descriptive page detailing the origin of these reproductions, possibly produced for an exhibit where these images were displayed. It reads, in part, "The portraits in this collection were made directly from the original Brady plates by enlargement. Records indicate that these were made in Brady's National Photograph Gallery in Washington sometime after 1865. The famous Civil War scenes were made from copy negatives of original prints made by Brady."
