On May 21, 1864, at the Massaponax Church in Virginia, General George Gordon Meade, a Union commander during the American Civil War, received instructions from General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant at the Council of War. This pivotal moment came after Meade's successful defense of the Battle of Gettysburg, as depicted in the iconic 1872 print. In this image from Head-Quarters Major General George G. Meade, July 1863, Meade is shown in deep thought, reflecting on the strategic decisions that would shape the remainder of the war. The famous Union commander, who also had a background as a civil engineer, is also depicted in other historical prints, such as the 1862 image by Brady and the 1898 color lithograph of the Battle of Gettysburg. Meade's legacy as a great Union general was solidified through his leadership during the Civil War, as depicted in the N15 series of the Great Generals.
