What sets this stereograph apart is the text on its back, which the record notes carries Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, pairing a battlefield view with the speech given at the cemetery dedication there. The Union and Confederate armies fought at Gettysburg in early July 1863, and Lincoln spoke on November 19 of that year. Cards like this were widely sold in the late 1800s and viewed through a hand stereoscope, which let parlor audiences see the landscape of a battle they had only read about.
