Famous Gettysburg Battlefield Map by John Bachelder — Hand colored — Framed and matted
$4,900.00
A very nice print of Bachelder's famous map. As you can see, it's colored, and while there has been some darkening with age, it is in very good condition.
The map shows the positions of Union and Confederate armies during the battle and icludes the location of the corps, divisions, and brigades of both armies, with their commanding officers, along with the geography of the battlefield, with drainage, vegetation, roads and streets, railroads, bridges, houses and names of residents all indicated.
Includes facsimile signatures of high-ranking Union officers, including General Mead, Newton, Hancock, Birney, and others attesting to the accuracy of the map.
Along the bottom border, this statement: “I am perfectly satisfied with the accuracy with which the topography is delineated and the position of the troops laid down. Geo. G. Meade, Major Gen. of the Grand A.P.”
A smaller plan of the Soldier’s National Cemetery shows the arrangement of graves.

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."
