Date: 1884 (copyrighted 1884 by Kurz & Allison; later portfolio issue) Medium: Multi-stone chromolithograph on heavy wove paper Image Size: 20 7/8 x 14 3/4 in. Sheet Size: 24 x 18 1/2 in.
Description: This panoramic chromolithograph depicts the climactic July 3, 1863 engagement at Gettysburg. The composition combines foreground intensity with expansive atmospheric recession, structured through layered stone impressions.
Sky passages display organic tonal blending without mechanical halftone patterning. Overlapping pigment layers confirm traditional stone chromolithography.
The work exemplifies:
dramatic panoramic staging dense, saturated color construction careful multi-stone registration late 19th-century industrial print sophistication
