The title places this negative at a camp in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a town best known for the battle fought around it in July 1863. The record gives no date, and the caption information is unverified, so the specific camp is uncertain. Tent encampments at Gettysburg are most often associated with the 1913 reunion of Union and Confederate veterans, held on the battlefield for the battle's fiftieth anniversary. George Grantham Bain founded his New York agency, Bain News Service, to sell news photographs to newspapers, so this negative reflects that commercial trade in current events.
