This is a map rather than a photograph, and its title pins it to a specific moment: the positions held on July 2, 1863, the second day of the battle at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Maps of this kind were produced soon after the fighting to show readers where Union and Confederate lines stood as the battle unfolded across the ridges and fields around the town. The second day was among the bloodiest of the three, with attacks on the Union flanks at Little Round Top, Devil's Den and the Wheatfield, so a map fixed to that single day reveals how the armies were arranged before the crucial assault that followed on July 3.
