Pickett's Charge, the Confederate assault on the Union center along Cemetery Ridge on the afternoon of July 3, 1863, is the moment this print seeks to capture, with massed artillery and infantry shown in the smoke and open ground of the third day at Gettysburg. The attack followed a massive Confederate artillery bombardment, and the roughly 12,500 men who advanced across nearly a mile of open fields met devastating fire from Union guns and infantry. The assault failed, and the battle ended the next day with General Robert E. Lee's army retreating south toward Virginia. Color lithographs like this one were popular in the decades after the war, turning the battle into a widely circulated image of national memory and sacrifice.
