This photograph depicts a section of the Gettysburg Cyclorama, the famed circular paining of July 3, 1863 and the High Water Mark of the Confederacy.  Image measures 4 3/4 inches by 7 3/4 inches and is mounted on heavy cardstock.  Of artist Paul Philippoteaux’s four versions, only two survive today.  The one now displayed at the Gettysburg Visitor’s Center was completed in 1884 and was originally displayed in Boston from 1884-1891.  Afterwards, sections of it were displayed at various periods in Philadelphia, PA, Washington, DC, Newark, NJ, Baltimore, MD and New York City before arriving in Gettysburg in 1913.  The backside of the photograph is stamped “Allen & Rowell, Photographers, 25 Winter Street, Boston.”

This photograph is centered on the close quarters fighting at the Angle, with the Copse of Trees in the mid-ground and the Codori Farm in the background.  Detail of this image is overall very crisp.

This photograph has been inscribed by a previous owner “Mildred W. Atwood.” There is also a pencil number “4.”   [jc/cla] [PH:L]
