Its title points to a local business rather than a battle: a "Compliments of" piece from The First National Bank in Gainesville, Georgia, a north Georgia town in a region shaped by the Civil War. The name itself is a clue to the period. Federally chartered "First National" banks date to the National Bank Act of 1863, so the piece comes from the postwar years, when businesses often gave customers decorative prints. Such items frequently reused Civil War subjects, because the conflict remained a powerful part of regional and national memory in the decades that followed.
