Gateway of Cemetery, Gettysburg
1863
Iron gates mark the entrance to the hallowed ground where thousands of Civil War soldiers found their final rest. O'Sullivan's solemn composition captures Gettysburg Cemetery shortly after Lincoln's famous address transformed it into a symbol of national sacrifice and renewal.
