This stereoscopic image (Negative #591) was taken by William Tipton for commercial sale by Tipton and Myers of Excelsior Galleries of Gettysburg.  The orange mounting card shows very light wear at the corners and edges. The reverse is stamped “WM. H. MARTIN / CHESTER, DEL. CO. PA.” and features an early Tipton and Myers label at center.  Several William H. Martins from the same area match available Civil War service records. Light wear is noted and includes a spot of material loss, and adhesive catalogue tag, and light surface dirt.

Tipton and Myers’ Excelsior Gallery was a prominent, historic photography studio in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, operating from 1868 to 1873.  The studio was formerly that of the Tyson Brothers, among the town’s first professional photographers. The partnership consisted of William H. Tipton, who eventually became one of America's most famous landscape and battlefield photographers, and Robert A. Myers.  Myers sold his stake in 1873 and was entirely phased out of branding when one of the Tyson brothers purchased a share of the business by 1880.

A rare link to Gettysburg’s early post-battle history from one of American History’s most famous photographers.   [cm][ph:L]
