A striking feature of this piece is its size, about 212 by 418 centimeters, or roughly seven by fourteen feet, far larger than most theater bills of the day. It advertised a stage drama called *Gettysburg* in 1880, when Americans were still drawn to Civil War stories fifteen years after Appomattox. The color woodcut was produced by the Calhoun Show Print company of Hartford, Connecticut, a printer of theatrical posters. Its caption, "Off to the War," shows Union soldiers and a band marching down a city street. The record also links the names Frances Hodgson Burnett and Stephen Townsend to the production.
