  Photograph album (disbound)

  Visual Materials

  A collection of 97 photographs, chiefly of Civil War veterans, monuments, and other views at Gettysburg National Memorial Park, taken approximately 1890 to 1910. The photographs were compiled into an album (now disbound) by John P. Nicholson, Civil War veteran and collector. There are a few wartime photographs dating to the 1860s, but the majority were taken in the years after the Gettysburg battlefield was designated a national park in 1893. The albumen photographs are various sizes and are mounted on boards. Many depict veterans gathered in groups at Gettysburg, sometimes in front of a monument for a specific army division. Women and children appear in some images, posing with monuments, and there are portraits of individuals in uniforms, mostly unidentified. Other subjects are: landscape views of former battlefields (with annotations identifying landmarks), graves, gun carriages outside a barn, cannons, visitors in horse and buggy, and the Old Soldiers Home (Washington, D.C.?). Six small images on page 47 date to much earlier; there are two wartime images of Ulysses S. Grant and officers seated outside a tent; a group of soldiers standing by cabins; and single images of three of Grant's horses, "Jeff. Davis, Cincinnati, and Egypt," at City Point, Virginia, 1865. Some images are by William Tipton and one is credited to F. Gutekunst. The album is disbound, and two photographs have been matted and housed in Box 2.
