Photographs taken during and shortly after the war have helped people understand, preserve, and rehabilitate the battlefield landscape. In the 1880’s, a photographer recorded a series of views of Malvern Hill to accompany Civil War articles published in Century magazine. From this spot, the cameraman captured the sloping fields across which the Confederates attacked, with slave cabins to the left and a landscape that was largely treeless. Recent scene restoration has made this comparison more effective.
