介绍（中）	人们对托马斯·C·罗氏早期的职业生涯知之甚少。内战期间，他为E.&；H.T.Anthony公司，纽约，视觉和立体视图的出版商和摄影用品的经销商。1865年4月初，战争即将结束，罗氏接到安东尼的特别命令，为蒙哥马利·梅格斯将军工作。作为联邦军的军需官，梅格斯负责从鞋带到火炮的所有物资的采购和运输。他也是一名业余摄影师，并认识到纪实摄影在军事上的用处。这幅图展示了1865年4月3日杰佛逊·戴维斯和他的邦联内阁撤离该市后不久，弗吉尼亚州里士满的废墟。逃离的邦联和抢劫者故意纵火，摧毁了该市大部分未被联邦军破坏的地区。4月9日，罗伯特·E·李将军向尤利西斯·S·格兰特将军投降，有效地结束了邦联，几周后又结束了内战。
介绍（英）	Very little is known of the early career of Thomas C. Roche. During the Civil War he worked for E. & H. T. Anthony Company, New York, publishers of cartes-de-visite and stereoscopic views and distributors of photographic supplies. In early April 1865, near the war's end, Roche received special orders from Anthony to work for General Montgomery Meigs. As quartermaster of the Union Army, Meigs was responsible for the procurement and transportation of everything from bootlaces to artillery. He was also an amateur photographer and recognized the military usefulness of documentary photography. This view shows the ruins of Richmond, Virginia, the capital of the Confederacy, soon after Jefferson Davis and his Confederate cabinet evacuated the city on April 3, 1865. Fires intentionally set by fleeing Confederates and looters destroyed much of the city otherwise untouched by the Union Army. On April 9, General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant, effectively putting an end to the Confederacy and then, a few weeks later, the Civil War.
