Field Where General Reynolds Fell, Gettysburg. Artist: Timothy H. O'Sullivan (American, born Ireland, 1840-1882). Dimensions: 17.8 x 22.7 cm (7 x 8 15/16 in.). Printer: Alexander Gardner (American, Glasgow, Scotland 1821-1882 Washington, D.C.). Date: 1863.This photograph of the aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg appears in the two-volume opus Gardner's Photographic Sketch Book of the War (1865-66). Gardner's publication is egalitarian. Offended by Brady's habit of obscuring the names of his field operators behind the deceptive credit "Brady," Gardner specifically identified each of the eleven photographers in the publication; forty-four of the one hundred photographs are credited to Timothy O'Sullivan. Gardner titled the plate Field Where General Reynolds Fell, Battlefield of Gettysburg. But the photograph, its commemorative title notwithstanding, relates a far more common story: six Union soldiers lie dead, face up, stomachs bloated, their pockets picked and boots stolen. As Gardne
