Published in two volumes in 1866, the collection comprises 100 albumen silver prints, each accompanied by a descriptive text. Gardner, who had previously worked with Mathew Brady, one of the most famous photographers of the era, set out to capture the stark realities of the Civil War through his lens, providing a visual record that was unprecedented at the time.

The photographs in Gardner's Sketch Book cover a wide range of subjects, including battlefields, military encampments, fortifications, and the aftermath of battles. Notable images include the haunting scenes of the dead at Antietam and Gettysburg, which brought the brutal reality of war to the public in a way that words alone could not. Gardner's work is distinguished by its unflinching portrayal of the human cost of conflict, offering a raw and unvarnished look at the war's impact on soldiers and landscapes alike.

Each photograph in the Sketch Book is meticulously captioned, providing context and narrative to the visual content. These captions often include the names of the individuals depicted, the locations, and the dates, adding a layer of historical documentation that enhances the value of the work. Gardner's approach to photography was both artistic and journalistic, blending aesthetic composition with a commitment to factual accuracy.

"Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book of the War" is not only a crucial historical document but also a landmark in the development of photojournalism.
