Description
Civil War, Picket Duty In Virginia. The scene shows Union troops in blue uniforms firing with rifles over a fence, from their position in a wood. The Union troops are shown standing, crouching and kneeling, firing or standing at-the-ready with their rifles, whilst an officer looks on from behind. Their target is a Confederate column of cavalry which is crossing the field in front of them. One of their horses, its rider lying on the ground, is bolting. A farmhouse and a road is discernible in the background.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1902, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
