Chrysler Museum says: Five of Mosby’s Rangers: Sgt. A. Babcock, W. Gosden, Lt. W. Palmer, J. Munson, Sgt. T. Booker. [1865. Overall: 10 x 13 in. (25.4 x 33 cm) Overall, Frame: 26 1/8 x 28 1/8 in. (66.4 x 71.4 cm). Salted paper print. This is a sepia toned oval print of five Rangers lying on a carpet. One man appears to be asleep, two of the other men have pipes in their mouths, the second gentleman from the right is lighting up his pipe, while the one man, farthest to the right, is resting with his hand on his thigh. They are all wearing hats. There are two guns resting on the ground in front of them. This photograph, made after the war ended, is attributed to the Anderson Studio, which by 1866 was located in Richmond. It is quite possible that Julian Vannerson (ca. 1826-1880) was the photographer for this image, as he was active in Richmond during the war years. Vannerson’s negatives were acquired by Anderson, who in turn sold them to George Cook. The original glass plate negative still exists in Richmond’s Valentine Museum.]
