Download or read book Gettysburg Photos Colorized written by Jack Kunkel and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-21 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've probably seen some of the old photographs of the Civil War, including some taken after the battle of Gettysburg. Of course they're all in black & white, making the subjects look rather dull - ancient, long ago and far away. But in this book we've converted those photos to color, and for the first time you'll see what the subjects really looked liked - the battlefield, the town, and the people. Colorizing these photos gives them a much more contemporary look, making you realize that the Civil War wasn't all that long ago, and color brings out the small details usually that often go unnoticed in older black & white photos. The intent of the colorizing process was not to make the photos look "pretty," but to make them look realistic - how the scene actually looked at the time in full color.Although no photos where taken during the actual battle, many were taken within two or three days of the event, and the best of them are included in this book, along with many additional photos previously only seen in black & white, and the book includes excellent commentary explaining the circumstances surrounding each photo.

Download or read book 150th Anniversary the Battle of Gettysburg written by Juliana Love and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-04-05 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We, at J & J Photography, must make it perfectly clear this edition is NOT a history book, nor is it a guide to the battle of Gettysburg and DOES NOT contain information on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd days battles. While out taking pictures for our Summer Ray movie story boards, awestruck at the beauty of God's sunrises and sunsets, we could not help, but to continue taking pictures. Our photographs are not altered, nor are they photoshopped in any way shape or form (other than the first and second to last photos, in which lettering is added). The colors of the sky are real. The fog and mist are real. What you will see in the following pages, are God's handiwork surrounding the beautiful and heart wrenching blood soaked fields of Gettysburg. Although there are many photographs we could not add, we did our best to provide an extensive look at Gettysburg, in all four seasons and in all weather elements. You will see the same cannons, fields and monuments, but you will not see the same picture, as no two are the same. It is with sincere thanks of the many people we have come to love, who share our passion for Gettysburg. Without their continued support and encouragement, this special edition would not have been made. We hope this book will become a treasured keepsake, long after the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg becomes history as well.

Download or read book The Gettysburg Cyclorama written by Chris Brenneman and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of books and articles have been written about the Battle of Gettysburg. Almost every topic has been thoroughly scrutinized except one: Paul PhilippoteauxÕs massive cyclorama painting The Battle of Gettysburg, which depicts PickettÕs Charge, the final attack at Gettysburg. The Gettysburg Cyclorama: The Turning Point of the Civil War on Canvas is the first comprehensive study of this art masterpiece and historic artifact. This in-depth study of the history of the cyclorama discusses every aspect of this treasure, which was first displayed in 1884 and underwent a massive restoration in 2008. Coverage includes not only how it was created and what it depicts, but the changes it has undergone and where and how it was moved. Authors Chris Brenneman and Sue Boardman also discuss in fascinating detail how the painting was interpreted by Civil War veterans in the late 19th Century. With the aid of award-winning photographer Bill Dowling, the authors utilized modern photography to compare the painting with historic and modern pictures of the landscape. DowlingÕs remarkable close-up digital photography allows readers to focus on distant details that usually pass unseen. Every officer, unit, terrain feature, farm, and more pictured in the painting is discussed in detail. Even more remarkable, the authors reveal an important new discovery made during the research for this book: in order to address suggestions from the viewers, the cyclorama was significantly modified five years after it was created to add more soldiers, additional flags, and even General George Meade, the commander of the Union Army! With hundreds of rare historic photographs and beautiful modern pictures of a truly great work of art, The Gettysburg Cyclorama: The Turning Point of the Civil War on Canvas is a must-have for anyone interested in the Battle of Gettysburg or is simply a lover of exquisite art.

Book excerpt: From the 1890s through the 1920s, the postcard was an extraordinarily popular means of communication, and many of the postcards produced during this "golden age" can today be considered works of art. Postcard photographers traveled the length and breadth of the nation snapping photographs of busy street scenes, documenting local landmarks, and assembling crowds of local children only too happy to pose for a picture. These images, printed as postcards and sold in general stores across the country, survive as telling reminders of an important era in America's history. This fascinating new history of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and its famous battlefield, showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available.
