Dedication of the Antietam National Cemetery, 1867 Harper's Weekly Engraving

A multi-panel wood engraving from Harper's Weekly shows scenes of the dedication ceremony: a crowd gathered before a flag-draped speakers' platform, a tall monument on a hill, and small farmhouses and buildings. Officers in military dress stand in groups at the lower left, and the page is framed by a dark border.
