This wonderful old map of the Battle of Gettysburg was originally published in 1900. It was created by Julius Bien.
This map shows the Confederacy and Union's positioning on the third day of the conflict, in July 3 1863.
A Civil War fought between Union and Confederate forces in 1861 preserved the United States as one nation and ended slavery, which had divided the nation.
The Battle of Gettysburg took place in July 1863 in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and had the largest number of casualties of the entire war. Although the war went on for a couple more years, it is said that Gettysburg was a turning point towards the victory of the Union.
This map looks great at all sizes: 10x10 inches (25x25cm), 12x12in (31x31cm), 14x14 inches (36x36cm), 16x16in (41x41cm), 18x18in (46x46cm), 24x24 inches (61x61cm), 36x36 inches (92x92cm), 45x45 inches (114.5x114.5cm), 50x50 inches (127x127cm) and 60x60 inches (152.5x152.5cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 70in (178cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x18in (46x46cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
Please note the unframed 24x24 inches (61x61cm) map has white edges around the map. These edges can help you with framing, or if you don’t need them they are very easy to snip off with scissors. All other maps, including the framed maps, look exactly like the listing images.
The labels on this map are very small at 10x10 inches (25x25cm). The map is still very attractive, but you may struggle to read the smallest letters. Please buy a larger map if it's important to be able to read the map easily.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of the Battle of Gettysburg by Barclay Rubincam in 1953.

This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone interested in the Battle of Gettysburg or someone who is interested in the history of the American Civil War.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
