This 1887 print depicts the Battle of Gettysburg, fought July 1-3, 1863, in south-central Pennsylvania. It was made roughly a quarter century after the fight, when Civil War battle scenes were popular for home and public display. The shelflist card associates the piece with L. Prang & Co., the Boston firm known for color lithographs, though that attribution is unverified in the record. Because it was produced long after the battle, it reflects how Americans of the 1880s remembered Gettysburg, a turning point of the war, rather than a firsthand view of the action.
