Sleeping-Bunks of the First Rhode Island Regiment, Patent Office

A hand-colored wood engraving on a Harper's Weekly page of June 1, 1861, shows tiered wooden bunks with folded blankets lined up in a large room with tall windows and a glass-fronted cabinet at left. Rifles lean against the bunks, and columns of printed text fill the page beside the scene.
