Two rectangular images on a single mount titled "United States Gen'l Hospital, Brattleboro, Vt. - 1863" and "United States Rendezvous, Brattleboro, Vt. - 1863." Mounted on blue colored board with thin red-line boarder. The upper image show a group of barracks-like buildings in the distance across an open field. The lower image shows a small group of tents (about the size of a company) in a field with arms stacked near the far end of the row. A group of barracks-like buildings is visible in the distance, probably the same group as in the upper image, but taken from a different angle.
