Description: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 An original hand signed 1863 note issued by “The State of Louisiana” from Shreveport, Louisiana. The “Fifty Cents” note has the hand inscribed serial number “5296” at right side. It was printed on one side only. At the Battle of Gettysburg in Pennsylvania, Major General George Meade's “Army of the Potomac” defeated attacks by General Robert E. Lee's “Army of Northern Virginia”, halting Lee's invasion of the North and forcing his retreat. The battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's turning point, due to the Union's decisive victory. The battle was fought July 1st through July 3rd, 1863. “Pickett’s Charge” was reprinted from an engraving of the Gettysburg Cyclorama done by Manhattan Lithographs in the 1880’s. The battle scene was created by French artist Paul Philippoteaux in 1884, The Battle of Gettysburg Cyclorama depicts Pickett’s Charge on July 3, 1863. It was purchased by the National Park Service in 1942 and is on exhibit in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The hand made solid Poplar frame with distressed milk paint finish is 8” x 10” (glass) in size. All of the frame and display work was done in our cabinet shop here in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The frame is ready to hang. The wire is recessed which allows the frame to rest flat back to the wall as in a museum mount. The “bumpons” on each back corner protect the wall and keep the frame level. The back of the frame, which doesn’t show, has some brush strokes from the second coat of paint. All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph and description of the items purchased. Please see our "About” for more information on the framing and artifacts.
