Here we have a unique boxed set of stereoview images of the Gettysburg battlefield as seen by tourists in the early 20^th century.

Included in this set are 12 stereoviews of the Gettysburg battlefield about the turn of the century. All photos include photos of tourists on the battlefield and each depict a monumented or important area of the field. However, not all important microcosms of the battlefield are included in this set. The list below shows what is included. All stereoviews are published by Underwood & Underwood and have a copyright date of 1903.

All images show good contrast; it is clear that these images have remained in their box and have not had the chance to fade. All stereocards are in good condition with some minor wear to the edges.
