Arranged as a wide panorama with five smaller scenes set around its border, this 1888 view presents Gettysburg and the ground around it as one connected landscape rather than a single moment. The date falls a quarter century after the battle fought there in July 1863, when many veterans were returning to the field and the town was becoming a destination for memorial visits. Pictorial views like this one were popular with travelers and often doubled as records of a place that the fighting had made famous.
