<br />On the cylinder, this highly detailed panoramic etching captures the drama of Pickett’s Charge. Note the detail in uniform and armament, and the Gettysburg farmhouse in the distance. With each rotation of the cylinder, another piece of the drama unfolds. A mounted officer falls to a rifleman’s shot. A Confederate infantryman swings his empty rifle at a sword-wielding Union soldier. On horseback, on foot, and down on the ground, the battle is waged with pistols, bayonets, and knives. All the excitement and fury of this moment are immortalized in this 24-karat gold panorama.
