OHIO VOLS.]
The original plate has not been used except to print copies for
_transfers_. The _first_ impressions from each transfer are reserved for
PROOFS. Therefore the quality of the print can never materially change,
as the original plate would furnish a thousand transfers. The _colored_
PROOFS are carefully colored by an Artist. The TINTED and PLAIN editions
are next printed, and when the plate is worn a new transfer is made.
To any person remitting the money, for either of the above styles, I
will forward the print by mail, to any part of the United States, FREE
OF CHARGE, carefully packed on a roll: or, I will send it by express, at
their expense, with bill for collection. I have sent hundreds by mail,
to all parts of the country, and have yet to hear of the first copy
being lost or injured, while it is quite a saving of expense. A _Key_,
embracing a brief description of the battle, accompanies each print
without extra charge. I have hundreds of letters of indorsement from
which I select the following:--
TESTIMONIALS.
"HEAD-QUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. _Feb. 11, 1864._
"I have examined Col. Bachelder's ISOMETRICAL DRAWING of the Gettysburg
Battle-field, and am perfectly satisfied with the accuracy with which
the topography is delineated, and the positions of the troops laid down.
Col. B., in my judgment, deserves great credit for the time and labor he
has devoted to obtaining the materials for this drawing, which have
resulted in making it so accurate. * * * * I can cheerfully recommend it
to all those who are desirous of procuring an accurate picture and
faithful record of the events of this great battle. * * * *
"I remain most truly yours,
"GEO. G. MEADE,
"_Maj.-Gen. Comd'g. A. P._"
* * * * *
"HEAD-QUARTERS SECOND ARMY CORPS. _Dec. 29, 1863._
"The view of the Battle-field of Gettysburg prepared by Col. Bachelder,
has been carefully examined by me. I find it as accurate as such a
drawing can well be made. And _it is accurate_, as far as my knowledge
extends.
"WINF'D S. HANCOCK,
"_Major-General Comd'g 2d Corps._"
* * * * *
"Col. Bachelder's Isometrical View of the Battle of Gettysburg is an
admirable production, and a truthful rendering of the various positions
assumed by the troops of my command.
"A. DOUBLEDAY,
"_Maj.-Gen. Vols., Comd'g 1st Corps._"
* * * * *
"BOSTON, _Sept. 23, 1964_.
