EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print captures the historic Head-Quarters of Major General George G. Meade in July 1863, located at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The image is part of Alexander Gardner's renowned "Photographic Sketch Book of the War" series, Volume I, published in 1866. General George G. Meade played a pivotal role in the American Civil War as he led the Union army to victory against Confederate general Robert E. Lee at the Battle of Gettysburg. This photograph showcases his headquarters during this critical time. The photo depicts a grand building that served as General Meade's command center during one of the most significant battles in American history. Its imposing presence reflects both its importance and significance within the context of this momentous event. Alexander Gardner masterfully captured this scene using an albumen silver print technique, which adds depth and richness to every detail showcased within this remarkable image. Displayed prominently at the Art Institute Chicago, this photograph stands as a testament to not only Gardner's artistic prowess but also serves as a historical document that transports viewers back to a crucial period in our nation's past. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded of General George Gordon Meade's leadership and bravery while appreciating Alexander Gardner's ability to immortalize such an iconic location through his lens for generations to come.
