Inscription on image: "After first [inserted: day of] battle at Gettysburg." Photographer's labels were often incorrect [sometimes intentionally], and this is such a case. The image is actually of Confederate dead on the Rose farm, which was the scene of fighting on July 2. The photo was actually taken by Gardner on July 5, according to Frassanito in "Getysburg: Journey In Time" [p. 209]. The corpses have been collected by Federal burial parties. Gardner's darkroom wagon is visible on the left side of the image. Formerly part of H.W. Fay's (keeper of Lincoln's tomb) scrapbook.
