VIEWS IN AND AROUND RICHMOND. - Messrs. Levy & Cohen, two enterprising young men of our city, have returned with their Globe lens from a trip to the Rebel capital. They have brought with them a series of very fine negatives, prints from which they have placed in our possession. They are mostly excellent photographs, and embrace all the points of historical interest in and about the city, such as The Ruins of the Arsenal, Ruins of Petersburg Bridge, Drurys Bluff, The Rockets, The Executive Mansion, with Gov. Pierpont and staff on the portico, Capitol Square, The Washington Monument, The Tomb of Monroe, The Burnt District, and many other points of great interest... They have our earnest desires for their success. (Philadelphia Photographer, voll ii; Phila.: Benerman & Wilson, No. 21, September 1865, p. 154.

The volume cover is gilt-stamped 'Meyer', and appears to have been a presentation copy, given by one of the photographers to a relative. The volume is extraordinarily rare.
