Rather than a single portrait, this picture shows a whole wall covered in photographs of soldiers, a crowded display that suggests how personal these images were to the people who kept them. Portraits of this kind were usually small studio prints such as cartes de visite or cabinet cards, which soldiers often sat for before leaving home or while in camp and then shared as keepsakes. Gettysburg, the subject of this collection, gives the scene added weight: the town was transformed by the 1863 battle, and the national cemetery dedicated that November made its war dead a lasting public memory. Study the arrangement closely to see how private remembrance and public commemoration overlapped in these years.
