Fought near Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17, 1862, the Battle of Antietam is still considered the bloodiest single day in American military history. This print, dated to December 1887 by its copyright entry, is associated on its catalog card with the Boston lithography firm L. Prang & Co., a publisher known for color prints that brought Civil War scenes into homes long after the fighting ended. The date and publisher are unverified, but the image shows how the battle had become a fixed subject of national memory by the late nineteenth century.
