This is a carte de visite (CDV) view card by Rockwood of New York, showing several buildings at West Point, the U.S. Military Academy on the Hudson River. The image is an outdoor scene, mounted on a cream card with a double-ruled border.

The image shows a two-story building on the left with three tall chimneys and a taller section attached to it in the back. In the center of the view, but back in the distance, is a long, low, one-story building. On the right side of the image is a large five-story building with veranda or porch.

Several cadets are visible seated or peeking out doors or windows. A steep wooded hillside, typical of the Hudson Highlands around West Point sets the background.

The print shows light foxing and spotting, especially in the sky. The image is still clear and has good detail.

A small printed imprint at the bottom reads “Rockwood, Photographer, 839 Broadway, N.Y.” There is also a faint pencil inscription in that looks to read “B[arracks?] and Guard House at West Point.”  [jet] [ph:L]
