This stereoscopic dual image (Tipton Negative #743) shows a southwesterly view of the Soldier’s National Cemetery, taken in 1882 by William Tipton, likely from atop a wooden derrick structure attached to a well house on East Cemetery Hill (differing from the GAR tower on Cemetery Hill immediately out of frame).

The photo is mounted to a pale-yellow card with Tipton commercial text on either side.  The reverse features a pasted information label with commercial logo, detailing the history and features of the Soldier’s National Monument.  The remnants of a personal property label remain at low left as shown. Dimensions are 4” x 7”.

William Henry Tipton (August 5, 1850 – September 20, 1929) was one of America's most prominent 19th-century photographers, universally celebrated as Gettysburg’s premier "Battlefield Photographer". A lifelong native of the borough, Tipton spent over six decades visually documenting the shifting landscape of the Gettysburg Battlefield and the growth of its commercial tourism.

An interesting early snapshot from Tipton – ideal for the discerning Civil War or Gettysburg photography collector.  [cm][ph:L]
