Here we have a glass negative titled as a portrait of General George Gordon Meade at Gettysburg, a name that ties the image to the Union commander who led the Army of the Potomac during the battle in July 1863. The record is thin: it gives no date, and the title comes from caption information that the Bain News Service attached to its negatives, which the Library of Congress notes is unverified. Bain's agency worked as a commercial photo service in the early twentieth century, so the plate was likely made long after the battle, possibly at a commemoration or as a copy of an older view.
