This is an original period image from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and other quality sources restored and tinted by the internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work on ebay.

Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken.

You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in.

Three Confederate Prisoners
Gettysburg, PA
July 1863

Perhaps one of the most memorable pictures of the Civil War, this image was taken about two weeks after the battle was over. This is also one of the few images of living Confederate soldiers taken during the war. The names of the men and their units, etc. have been lost, but it still brings back the struggles that these men faced during one of the most instrumental battles of the war. Between July 1st and July 3rd, 1863, General Meade and General Lee struggled over these farm fields in Pennsylvania. While these men were captured, they were among the fortunate to have not been one of the tens of thousands that were killed or wounded in those three days.
