Wide panoramic view at the moment of the repulse of Longstreet's (actually Pickett's) charge at the Battle of Gettysburg 1-3 July 1863. Large black and white steel engraving (papier colle) based on the larger painting by James Walker and painted under Bachelder's supervision. Viewed across a vast series of fields and small hills. Portions of the background appear etched. The Walker painting is reproduced in Holzer and Neely, Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory: The Civil War in Art, pp. 128-129. (Sauers notes that the original painting is 7.5 x 20 feet.) Holzer-Neely identify Lewis A. Armistead, foreground, right center, and George G. Meade, center, right with field glasses. Engraved by H.B. Hall Jr., published by Bachelder. Uncolored.
