Rather than a single battlefield scene, this lithograph gathers the leading commanders of the Confederate army onto one sheet, a format printmakers favored for former Confederates and their sympathizers in the decades after the war. It is grouped under Gettysburg because that battle in July 1863 ended Robert E. Lee's invasion of the North, and many of the officers shown fought there. Viewers should note that a group portrait like this presents its subjects as heroic figures, reflecting the postwar effort to honor the Confederacy rather than offering a neutral record of the war.
