About this work

A pencil and white-highlight sketch on toned paper shows a column of mounted cavalry wading or crossing a broad, shallow ford in the foreground. Two officers on horseback watch from the right, while a winding road climbs a grassy slope toward a distant tree line where wagons are visible. The inscription beneath identifies the scene as the 8th Pennsylvania Cavalry crossing at Ely's Ford before the battle of Chancellorsville, drawn by Alfred Waud in 1863.
