Published in New York around 1867, this lithograph depicts the Battle of Gettysburg, fought July 1 to 3, 1863, in south-central Pennsylvania. The Union Army of the Potomac, under George G. Meade, turned back Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia there, and the battle is often called the war's turning point. Printed by Wm. C. Robertson and published by Thomas Kelly, the image was made several years after the fighting, when Americans wanted visual records of the war's major campaigns. Its later date means it reflects postwar memory as much as the battle itself.
