L. Mumper & Co. was a prominent 19th-century photography studio in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, founded by Civil War veteran and historic battlefield photographer Levi Mumper (1843–1916). The company specialized in portraiture, stereoviews, and landscape photography of the Gettysburg National Military Park. After serving in Company I of the 127th Pennsylvania Infantry, Levi Mumper learned landscape photography from the Tyson brothers. He went professional in 1864 by purchasing Samuel Weaver's studio on West Middle Street.

A fascinating earlier view of the Union Center, ideal for the student and collector of the Gettysburg Battlefield monumentation period.    [cm][ph:L]
