A large white mansion with a mansard roof and dormer windows stands behind bare and leafy trees, with a wide staircase leading up a grassy slope in the foreground. The printed caption identifies it as Schuyler Mansion and records that "Gen'l Bourgoyne was held prisoner" there during the Revolutionary War; the name is likely Burgoyne. The house was the Albany home of Philip Schuyler, a Revolutionary War general and early U.S. senator, and the captured British general was held there after the surrender at Saratoga.
