A wet collodion glass stereograph from 1863 shows a crowd gathered at the cemetery for a monument dedication. The record ties it to Gettysburg, and the gallery's focus on the Gettysburg Address places it within the observances that autumn, when the Soldiers' National Cemetery was consecrated on November 19, 1863, and Abraham Lincoln gave his speech. The negative was once credited to Alexander Gardner, a photographer who documented the Union army's camps and battlefields, though that attribution is now uncertain.
