DESCRIPTION The woman pictured in this ambrotype (a photographic process on glass that had only a few years of commercial success), is believed to be a washerwoman for Union troops quartered outside Richmond, Virginia. This rare photograph of an African American woman shows her in her best dress, with an American flag pinned to her bodice. The flag has often served as a symbolic, as well as a political, statement, especially for African Americans.
