"Almost everything I purchase from this site is either a gift for my father or my father-in-law. This one was for my father-in-law's birthday. . .
He adores it and won’t stop telling anyone who will listen about it. How beautiful it is, the story behind it, how great it looks in his livingroom. It was yet another perfect gift from this company."

About the artist:
"John Bachelder (1825-1894) was a painter, lithographer, photographer and historian. Early in his career he produced an important and appealing body of work depicting sites and cities in the northeastern United States. On his own initiative he traveled to Gettysburg immediately after the battle, where he spent no fewer than 84 days traversing the field, making sketches, and interviewing witnesses to the events. Later that year he published this spectacular and detailed bird’s-eye view of Gettysburg, his first published depiction of the battlefield. He went on to become the preeminent 19th-century historian of the battle and for years served as director of the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial."
