Major General George G. Meade at the Battle of Gettysburg, July 3d 1863. The general rendered on the third day — the day of Pickett's charge — when the Union line on Cemetery Ridge held by inches and ink, and a cautious Pennsylvanian became, briefly and bloodily, the man who saved the Republic.

About the Source

Bella Frye sources artifacts from the great American historical archive — the Library of Congress, the National Archives, regional historical societies, and the lithographic publishers (Currier & Ives, Kurz & Allison, Endicott, Sarony, Prang) who documented the republic from its founding through the early twentieth century. The aged paper tone, the engraver's hand, and the original plate annotations are preserved in the print.

Materials & Finish

Printed to order in our Pacific Northwest studio on premium 380gsm cotton canvas with archival pigment inks. Hand-finished and framed in our signature ornate frame with verdigris corner detail, available in three finishes:

• Ebony — deep black with carved ornate detailing; dramatic against light walls
• Verdigris — aged copper-green with antique patina; the signature Bella Frye look
• Bourbon — warm walnut tone with ornate relief; rich and historically grounded

Stretched canvas (frameless gallery wrap) is available for those who prefer a frameless presentation.

Where It Belongs

Libraries, studies, regimental halls, veterans' rooms, and any space that honors the country's most consequential reckoning. Pairs naturally with other documents from the Bella Frye Republic collection — political broadsides, presidential portraits, military scenes, and the artifacts of American memory.
