Presnted in matt, 8” x 10”, titled “OUR CHAPLIN” with caption “Give each of us a copy of this Engraving, to show our friends the way we sing and hold meetings in camp. He desires us to tell them to pray for us and him, that we may prove faithful to our country and our God, and not be found wanting in any day of temptation and trial.” The engraving shows Engraving of Soldiers, singing, playing music, and holding a religious service. Chaplain Joseph Little posed for this portrait with the tools of his trade—a rocking melodeon, hymnbook and a large-print poster for sing-a-longs. The musket propped up against the studio wall behind him may be a symbol of the young men of the 5th West Virginia Infantry to whom he ministered.
