This wonderful old map of the Battle of Gettysburg was originally published in 1953. It was created by Barclay Rubincam.
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.
Surrounding the map are landmarks of Gettysburg, such as General Meade's, Spangler Square, and the Gettysburg National Cemetery.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16in (30.5x41cm), 16x20in (40.5x51cm), 18x24in (45.5x61cm), 24x30in (61x76cm), 32x40in (81.5x102cm), 40x50in (102x127cm), 48x60in (122x153cm) and 56x70in (142x178cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 80in (203cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 16x20in (40.5x51cm) version of this map.
The fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.
Please note the unframed 24x30in (61x76cm) 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.
If you’re looking for something slightly different, another option would be this amazing map of the Battle of Gettysburg by Julius Bien in 1900.
The locations on this map include: Baltimore Street, Carlisle Street, East Middle Street, West Middle Street, Washington Street, Willoughby Run and East Confederate Avenue.
Please contact me to check if a certain location, landmark or feature is shown on this map.
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.
