Modern print in a black frame with with hangwire on reverse. Shortly after Buford’s cavalry rode into Gettysburg, orders were issued prohibiting the sale of alcohol. With a battle coming, the general wanted his boys soberer than sober. Not that these orders were obeyed then, and certainly haven’t been since.
