Stereo card has a plain gray mount.
Image shows the Soldier’s National Monument that stands at center of the Gettysburg National Cemetery in the general area where President Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address.
Mount is clean and is unmarked but for the word “GETTYSBURG” at bottom.
Reverse is blank.
The cornerstone of the monument was laid on July 4, 1865, and it was finished and dedicated on July 1, 1869. The Soldiers National Monument is a monument to sorrow. Marble statues around the base of the monument represent History, War, Peace and Plenty. The figure of the Genius of Liberty stands on top of the monument. She holds a sword in one hand and the wreath of peace in the other, representing the constant struggle for freedom. The monument was designed by J. G. Batterson and carved by sculptor Randolph Rogers. (courtesy Stone Sentinels website.) [ad] [ph:L]
