Original albumen silver print from Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book of the War, Plate No. 19. Photographed in the immediate aftermath of the Battle of Antietam — the bloodiest single day in American military history — this commanding elevated view depicts the stone arch bridge over Antietam Creek, with covered wagons and a horse-drawn carriage visible on the road below. Rolling Maryland farmland and scattered timber frame the scene in characteristic Gardner compositional style.

Credited to Alexander Gardner, Photographer, 311 Seventh Street, Washington. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1865, by A. Gardner, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the District of Columbia.

Presented in a period-appropriate mahogany-finish frame with double mat. Frame measures 18.5" x 16.5". Image and paper in very good condition with even toning consistent with age.

Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book of the War (1866) stands as one of the preeminent documentary achievements of 19th-century American photography.   [ss] [ph:L]
