A battle map rather than a photograph, this piece sets out the ground around Gettysburg with the lines of battle from early July 1863 marked across it. The Battle of Gettysburg, fought July 1-3, 1863, was the largest engagement of the American Civil War and a turning point in the Union's eastern campaigns, with Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia failing to break the Union line on Cemetery Ridge and retreating south afterward. Printed in 1922, the map was made decades after the fighting, when the battlefield was already drawing veterans, tourists and early preservation interest. Its date and its title place it in that later tradition of commemorative mapping, which aimed to make the armies' movements readable to people who had never seen the ground.
