#15472 - Ambrotype of Female Workers from Allegheny Arsenal This is a large quarter-plate glass Ambrotype of a group of female Allegheny Arsenal workers from the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They wear similar uniform clothing and one may be their supervisor. It is unclear if any or all of these women were involved in the infamous accidental explosion at the arsenal that killed many workers on the same day as the Battle of Antietam, September 17, 1862. Another image that came with it was annotated "Aunt Pauline, killed at arsenal" so there is a real possibility. This item is NOT for sale
