Photo shows African American men, women, and children seated in front of and inside a mule-drawn covered wagon. Artist Alfred Waud worked up a sketch from this photograph, probably made in his presence by David B. Woodbury on January 1, 1863. The drawing, called “An arrival in Camp–under the Proclamation of Emancipation” was published in Harper’s Weekly, January 31, 1863, p. 6 and is now at the Library of Congress.
