CDV of Buttermilk Drinkers
Scope and Content
This collection contains a printed image of five soldiers gathered around, pouring and drinking buttermilk from a jar, possibly during or shortly after the American Civil War. The man in the center pours a jug while the others hold their cups of buttermilk. One man appears to drink from a very long straw. The image is copied from a tintype or ambrotype. A two cent stamp on the back of the image partly obscures part of the name of the printing gallery, which starts with "McCabe &", but it is indicated as being in Sidney, Ohio.
