Its title, *Our Heroes and Our Flags*, signals a patriotic theme rather than a plain view of the battlefield, suggesting it was meant to honor the soldiers who fought at Gettysburg and the colors they carried. The battle, fought in early July 1863 in and around the Pennsylvania town, was a turning point in the Civil War and remains its most famous engagement. Images like this were often produced in the decades afterward, when veterans' groups, publishers and memorial organizations sought pictures that celebrated the Union cause and its sacrifice. The artist and publication date are not recorded.
