  • Gladstone's inventory number: CDV52.
  • An inscription on the back of the card indicates that both men are "on the left"; a note from the Gladstone inventory states "Rockwell standing on the woman's right"; however, a note from a researcher states [August 2013] that "it is my great-great grandfather, Jesse L. Berch, on the woman's right"; visual confirmation of this was provided by a bust portrait of Berch in the collections of the U.S. Army Military History Institute.

For preservation reasons, original prints in the Gladstone Collection are not used for producing photographic copies. The Library arranged to digitize the prints at a high resolution that is sufficient for most publication purposes.

Photographic prints in the collection have been copied in various ways over the years and may or may not have been digitized at high resolution.

You can download images yourself. Alternatively, you can purchase copies of various types through Library of Congress Duplication Services. Use the Reproduction Number listed above.

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.

1. Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will be visible on the left.)

   • Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.

     As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)

   • No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.

2. Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?

   • Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.

   • No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.

3. If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.

To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
