Lead with what sets this picture apart: its title places it on the battlefield at Gettysburg, which means the scene is the ground itself rather than the town or a later memorial. The board files it under the third day of the battle, July 3, 1863, and the post-battle section, so it likely shows the field after the fighting ended. That final day included Pickett's Charge, the failed Confederate assault against the Union center on Cemetery Ridge, and the litter of the engagement lay across these fields for days afterward. Pictures of the field from this period were often made to show the scale of the losses and the terrain soldiers had crossed.
