One print entitled Gettysburg Battle-field by John B. Bachelder dated 1863. "Isometrical" panoramic chromolithograph with some hand-coloring showing troops positions and movements over the three days, with (lithographed) endorsement of General Meade, his corps commanders and civilians (town authorities and administrators of the Lutheran Theological Seminary). Bachelder visited the field shortly after the battle and drew a map which he published in the Autumn after the battle. His "Key" to the drawing asked the viewer to imagine himself in a balloon suspended in the air two miles east of Gettysburg. (See Richard Allen Sauers. "John B. Bachelder: Government Historian of the Battle of Gettysburg." Gettysburg [magazine], no. 3 [1 July 1990]: 115-127.)
