A Union general is the subject here, tied to Gettysburg, where George Meade's Army of the Potomac held its ground against Lee from July 1 to 3, 1863. That battle, the largest fought on American soil, was decided in fierce fighting along Cemetery Ridge and Little Round Top. Portraits of commanders like this one were widely reproduced in the years after the war, helping shape how the public remembered the campaign. The record does not name the officer, so the picture is best read as a window onto Union leadership during the battle.
