Here a Confederate general stands full-length with his sword at his side, a formal pose that signaled rank and command. Engravings like this were made for the illustrated press and for sale as keepsakes during and after the Civil War, when the public was eager to see the men who had led the Southern armies. Gettysburg, where the Army of Northern Virginia was defeated in July 1863, later became the battle that Americans most often associated with these commanders. Viewers should note that the figure is rendered in fine line work, which translated photographs and paintings into forms that could be printed in large numbers.
