This photograph, taken by Peter Weaver on November 11, 1863, depicts a group of men posing as dead soldiers among rocks in the Slaughter Pen. The two men standing are doctors, posed as if inspecting the “bodies.” The summit of Little Round Top can be seen in the distance.  It was then reproduced by William Tipton (#475) in a stereoscopic format for retail sale.  The orange mounting card shows moderate chipping at the right corner, but the image itself remains in very good condition. The reverse is clean and features a large-sized label, detailing other related commercial catalogue offerings. Dimensions are 3.5” x 7”.

William H. Tipton (1850–1929) was one of the most prominent American photographers of the late 19th century, best known for his exhaustive visual documentation of the Gettysburg Battlefield and the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. His massive body of work serves as a foundational historical record for the National Park Service and Civil War historians.

A rare and legendary photo, with a connection to the early commercial history of Gettysburg.   [cm][ph:L]
