"The town of Falmouth, Va. on the Rappahannock, opposite Fredericksburg. Headquarters of General Burnside and the army of the Potomac. Our special artist wrote us: 'Falmouth has that decaying, half sleepy look so characteristic of all Southern cities. A coat of paint is evidently the covering of a century, and the doors and windows cry out loudly for the glazier and carpenter. Falmouth is now the headquarters of General Burnside, and, being immediately opposite to Fredericksburg, will soon be the scene of most important operations. The river here is about six hundred feet wide, and is very often fordable. A mile to the east the railroad passes from Aquia Creek to Richmond. The bridge was burned lately, and has of course not been repaired, the army intending to pass over on pontoon bridges.'"— Frank Leslie, 1896

"Siege of Petersburg. The [African American] infantry bringing in captured guns and cheers of the Ohio troops. When the [African American] troops found themselves within the works of the enemy no words could paint their delight. Numbers of them kissed the guns they had captured with extravagant satisfaction, and a feverish anxiety was minfested to get ahead and charge some more of the Confederate works. A number of the [African American] troops were wounded and a few killed in the first charge. A large crowd congregated, with looks of unutterable admiration, about Sergeant Richardson and Corporal Wobey, of the Twenty-second United States [African American] regiment, who had carried the colors of their regiment and been the first men in the works. Our artist gives a sketch of this gallant action."— Frank Leslie, 1896

These are two-sided ladders used mostly for interior work, though they are handy too for certain exterior painting tasks. A plank placed on any rung of one and extended to that of another makes a splendid scaffold from which to paint a side wall. Four or six trestles with planks between them make up a scaffold from which a ceiling can be easily reached. Trestles are made substantially like long ladders. Two are hinged and permanently fastened together at the top. Made in lengths of 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 feet long.
