An engraving of Robert E. Lee, catalogued as a major general, shows him in the uniform and bearing that made him one of the most recognized figures of the Civil War. Engraved by A.H. Ritchie, prints like this were widely reproduced in books and periodicals, which helped shape how the public saw Confederate commanders. Lee's army marched into Pennsylvania in June 1863 and fought at Gettysburg that July, a battle that remains central to the town's history. The record does not give a date for this print, so its exact origin is uncertain.
