A powerful and evocative stereoview depicting a group of African Americans standing in front of a humble log cabin in Petersburg, Virginia. The image captures the resilience and dignity of Reconstruction-era life, showcasing individuals posed thoughtfully against the backdrop of a sturdy yet modest cabin. The scene offers a poignant narrative of post-Civil War struggles and aspirations within the African American community.

This stereoview is attributed to the renowned Kilburn Brothers of Littleton, New Hampshire, celebrated for their detailed and historically significant photographic views. Adding to its rarity and value, this specific view is featured on page 76 of Photography in Virginia, where it is noted that Kilburn himself photographed the scene, rather than merely publishing it.

The reverse side bears the publisher's stamp, affirming the artifact's authenticity and provenance. A vital and scarce piece of American history, ideal for collectors of Civil War, Reconstruction-era, and African American photography.
