 Nearly all of the known stereo views taken by Confederate photographers were made early in the war. The most extensive series was made by Charleston photographers James M. Osborn and F. E. Durbec, who produced at least 38 different 3-D photographs at Fort Sumter, Fort Moultrie and Morris Island in the days immediately following the Union surrender of the fort on April 14, 1861. This view shows more than a dozen Confederates on the parapet at Fort Moultrie. Osborn and Durbec were among the most active Southern photographers in 1860 and 1861. By 1863, as the war noose tightened on the South, they were out of business. Scroll down to the back of the view.  Most Osborn and Durbec views were mounted on bright orange cards. Only about half of the known views carry their distinctive backmark. Information about the view was usually hand written on the front and back. |
