A historically significant stereoview depicts a group of Native American prisoners wearing Western military uniforms while held at Fort Marion, also known as the Castillo de San Marcos, in St. Augustine, Florida. The vibrant orange mount frames a photograph of these individuals, many of whom were taken as prisoners of war by the United States government. The reverse of the card presents a striking caption that reads: "A Picture of the Indian Cut Throats & Scalpers, who were confined in the Old Spanish Fort as prisoners of war by the United States Government."

Fort Marion played a significant role in the late 19th century as a detention site for Indigenous leaders and warriors during the Indian Wars. These prisoners were often subjected to military discipline and forced cultural assimilation efforts, which included Western clothing and education. This stereoview offers a rare and evocative glimpse into a poignant chapter in U.S. history, reflecting the complex intersection of conflict, imprisonment, and cultural change.
