One of the most striking monuments on Stony Hill is that of the 116th Pennsylvania Infantry.  Later added as a supplemental unit to the Irish Brigade, the 116th was part of the many attempts to resecure The Wheatfield on July 2nd.   The monument is a nine-foot-wide granite sepulcher supporting the sculpture of a fallen soldier lying next to a stone wall. The soldier was probably modelled after Sergeant Charles Gardner of the 110th Pennsylvania Infantry. Major Mulholland’s adjutant sketched him after finding the sergeant lying dead on the field with a peaceful smile on his face. The monument was erected in 1888 and dedicated by the State of Pennsylvania on September 11, 1889.

The image/print of the sketch is in excellent condition with no discernable damage.  It is mounted to a burgundy card with gold edges.  There is some gold loss along the bottom edge and minor wear to the corners.  Some very minor rolling of the outer paper layer is noted along edge areas, along with a slight crease at upper left.  The designer and sculptors are credited at the base of the monument in the image (“J.H. Kelley DESIGNER, PHILA. PA.”/ ”BYE & CARMAN SCULPTORS. PHILA. PA.”). The reverse is light gray with a commercial photographer logo at center reading “B.R. SNYDER, PHOTOGRAPHER/PHILADELPHIA”.  Notations in pencil read “30 Competitors/121 Rep.(?)/Coat of Arms of Penn. On the end of the monument.”  A small ball point pen notation reads “Designer J. H. Kelly/Phila., Pa./Sculptors BYE & CARMAN/Phila., PA.” The remainder is blank and clean.  Overall measurements are 10” x 12”.

A very scarce view of one of Gettysburg’s most memorable monuments.  It would display well and compliment any collection.  [cm][ph:L]
