Winter-Quarters in Camp: The Inside of a Hut

A dim wood engraving of soldiers inside a crowded log hut. A figure in dark clothing strides toward a bright doorway while others sit, lie on bunks, and rest on the floor beside hanging coats and equipment. Strong black-and-white contrast gives the scene a cold, cramped atmosphere.
