Schlacht von Gettysburg

1863 Pennsylvania Feldschlacht

L. Prang & Co.  print of the painting "Hancock at Gettysburg" by Thure de Thulstrup, showing Pickett's Charge.   Restoration by Adam Cuerden.







This  is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: This image, like many Thulstrup prints, was done on vellum, with a characteristic dappling effect when the light of the LoC's scan reflects off the dimples from the hair pores on the right and left edges. This is a highly distracting effect that required a fair bit of cleanup. Also, levels adjustments, etc..
