This photograph of the rotting dead awaiting burial after the Battle of Gettysburg is perhaps the best-known Civil War landscape. It was published in Gardner\u2019s Photographic Sketch Book of the War (1866), the nation\u2019s first anthology of photographs. The Sketch Book features ten photographic plates of Gettysburg\u2014eight by Timothy H. O\u2019Sullivan, who served as a field operator for Alexander Gardner, and two by Gardner himself. The extended caption that accompanies this photograph is among Gardner\u2019s most poetic: "It was, indeed, a \u2018harvest of death.\u2019 . . . Such a picture conveys a useful moral: It shows the blank horror and reality of war, in opposition to its pageantry. Here are the dreadful details! Let them aid in preventing such another calamity falling upon the nation."Free picture A Harvest of Death, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
