In Response To: RARE Confederate Field Hospital Photograph ()

IIRC many negatives of Confederate photos were destroyed after the war*, leaving only the paper versions.

As a result, those paper versions went through a lot of wear and tear in the post war years.

*I believe I read this in the Photographic History of the Civil War - a ten volume set published in 1911 (50th anniversary of the CW).
