I asked Garry Adelman if the stereoviews visible could be some of the legendary/alleged Brady photographs of Bull Run but he thought it unlikely (as do I). He said he would look into it though. One of the stereoviews looks like a portrait of a woman.

I think that the photo might have been taken by Montgomery Meigs (John's father and Union general) who was an amateur photographer. It is from his papers at the Library of Congress. It also looks like the photograph could be half of a stereoview.
