Surratt Commission and Anna Surratt

[L Verge]

It may very well still be of the military commission - can you make out uniforms on any of the men? Whoever scratched "Surrat" in may have just been thinking of the female in the group because that was unique. You might want to contact Bob Zeller at the Civil War Photography Center in Gettysburg to see if he has any idea as to the purpose of the copper engraving. Glass negative photos of the Commission were done literally on the spot.
