Title:
  Map of Gettysburg Battlefield, 3rd edition, showing the line of battle the afternoon of July 2, 1863
Artist:  Drawn by  Capt. William H. Willcox, topographical engineer, 95th NY Infantry, General Reynold’s staff.
Date: 1863
Publisher:  P.S. Duval & Son, Philadelphia
Type of Print:  giclee of lithograph (sourced from LOC)
Condition:  Digitally removed Library stamps in margins and did some general cleaning but kept the overall age toning
Original Size: 16 x 19
Description:  Topographically very detailed map of Union and Confederate battle lines during the afternoon of the 2nd day of the 3 day battle.  This map makes a good companion to Willcox’s map of the battle of Antietam.  Similar to that map Willcox’s emphasis here is on topographical detail and battle lines and not on place names.  For instance, the 2nd day at Gettysburg evokes the now familiar places known as Culp’s Hill, Devil’s Den, Wheat Field, Peach Orchard, Little Round Top and Slaughter Pen.  None of these are indicated on this map.  As an interesting side note, Willcox was on the staff of Major General John Reynolds, who was killed by a sniper’s bullet on the first day of battle.


Fine art Giclee reproduction print of vintage map is produced on heavy weight, matte finish, archival paper using the finest pigment inks offering excellent color and  light fastness ratings of up to 100 years.  Our maps are digitally retouched as needed but maintain the original age toning and antique nature that makes them wonderful decorative art as well as historical references.

Our maps are enlarge and reduce from the original size and do not distort or resize the image, therefore most prints are not exact standard sizes.  Larger sizes shipped rolled in tube.
