Original Spanish-American War-era mounted photograph showing a bird’s-eye view of Camp Haskell, Athens, Georgia, occupied by the 15th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, dated January 1899.
The image is titled in the negative: “Bird’s Eye View of Camp Haskell — Athens, Ga. — 15th P.V.I. — 1-1899.”
The lower-left corner appears to include a photographer credit reading “Chandlee Photo.”
This photograph provides a documentary view of the 15th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry encampment at Athens, Georgia, during the Spanish-American War period. The image shows rows of military tents, open camp grounds, and temporary camp structures, documenting the layout of the regiment’s camp shortly before the 15th Pennsylvania was mustered out of service at Athens at the end of January 1899.
Unlike a standard soldier portrait, this photograph records the broader camp setting and provides visual documentation of Camp Haskell and the 15th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry’s service in Georgia during the closing months of the Spanish-American War period.
