Image shows approx. 20 members of the 105^th Ohio standing in a field on the edge of their camp. The camera is too far away to see the facial features of the men but visible behind them is a row of large “A” or wall tents with flapped vents at top. Bare trees on a hillside in the background show that this is a winter scene.

Several of the figures standing at left have gilt on their buttons and what look to be gilt shoulder straps. At far left one officer stands alone. His identity is uncertain. Written in modern pencil inside the case which holds the image is “EXTREME LEFT CAPTAIN TALBOTT CIVIL WAR ENCAMPMENT” then in modern ink is “HOLMES BOOTH & HAYDENS, SUPERFINE-WATERBURY, CONN NO. 70.” However, written on a tag by the previous owner is “OUTDOOR SCENE 105^TH OHIO INFANTRY LT. LOCKWOOD AT FAR LEFT.” A search of the roster of the 105^th does not show any officer named “TALBOTT” but there is a “LT. LOCKWOOD.”

Image is clear but the contrast is just a bit on the dark side. The upper edge has some light wear and discoloration but none of it touches the subject.

The photo comes in a split case with one of the edge boards from the bottom portion of the case missing. The exterior of this half of the case is also heavily worn. There is no glass but the stamped brass scallop edged mat is present. Upper portion of the case still retains its green crushed velvet pad with geometric decoration.

The 105^th Ohio Infantry served with the 1^st Corps in the Army of Ohio and then with the 14^th Corps. They saw action at Perryville, Hoover’s Gap, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Kennesaw Mountain and Atlanta. The regiment lost 10 officers and 230 men killed, died of wounds and disease.

Stanley B. Lockwood was first commissioned a 2^nd lieutenant in Company G, 2^nd Ohio Cavalry but resigned on June 1, 1862. Next, he enlisted as a 1^st sergeant in Company D, 105^th Ohio Infantry. On January 15, 1863 he was commissioned a 2^nd lieutenant in Company K and was promoted to 1^st lieutenant in Company D on May 12, 1863. Lockwood’s last promotion came a little more than a year later when, on June 8, 1864, he was made captain and Quartermaster of the regiment. His date of muster out is not given. Lockwood died on November 23, 1884 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Painesville, Ohio.
