We have a lithograph. It is a portion of the Gettysburg Cyclorama. I have attached a few pictures of the work,(I am a poor photographer therefore the pictures do not reflect the true quality of the work). It is roughly 30" x 48". This work was identified by Wes Cowan, Cincy, Ohio a few years ago as being from the late 1800's.

He was gracious enough to permit me to bring it by his warehouse
one day. He said that his dating of the work was because of the 5-6" Oak
frame plus the original glass. Mr. Cowan said it was a stone lithograph. I believe that a person named E.V.C. Gelderd shares some responsibility for the
creation? Also, I know that Paul Philippoteaux is the person credited with
Cyclorama.

More to the point. My mother's great-grand uncle fought at Gettysburg, from Pittsburgh
Pa. (then Allegheny), Henry Neuhart. His wife was the original owner of the
work. It has been in our family forever. I do remember my mother now 91 and an Alzheimer patient, once mentioning that it may have a G.A.R. heritage. I am attempting to find the historical significance, we feel that it should be donated to the proper museum. We just have no information.



Thank you for any information you may be able to provide.

Guest, unfortunately no photo of it was attached to your post
Did you make sure the photo isn't over 500 pixels in size?
I am very curious to see this lithography
