Battle of Gettysburg (Pickett's Charge) restorat'n

Description

Another restoration of one of my favourite artists, Thure de Thulstrup, this time of his Battle of Gettysburg. As usual, it's printed by L. Prang & Co. in 1887 (thus making the original well out of copyright).

Source of the scan is [link]

This was a long, but not over-difficult restoration. Like many Thulstrup prints, it was done on vellum - real vellum - which causes a characteristic dappling effect when the light of the LoC's scan reflects off the dimples from the hair pores on the right and left edges. This is a highly distracting effect that required a fair bit of cleanup.

"They were farmers, and schoolteachers, gentlemen and labors. They became from Maine and Texas. From New York from Virginia. A conflict that turn neighbor against neighbor, freinds against foes. Faith made them soldiers, were made them brothers, and courage made them heroes".
