They are great for the ability to see clearly in the distance. What is notable here is a section of the Connecticut Park fence. There are remnants of what I think is the original fence, but this would help to confirm that. In my book I have a few pages from Tipton's hand-written catalog of Antietam views and this is in it. It does not have a date, but shows that he offered this view in 8x10, 11x14, and 14x17. Very cool. Thanks for putting this up.Stephen Reckerhttp://www.virtualantietam.comnoreply@blogger.com
