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 indors.e.m.e.nt 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. HANc.o.c.k, ”_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 a.s.sumed by the troops of my command.

”A. DOUBLEDAY, ”_Maj.-Gen. Vols., Comd'g 1st Corps._”

”BOSTON, _Sept. 23, 1964_.

”COL. BACHELDER:--I have examined your beautiful drawing of the Battle-field of Gettysburg and vicinity. The certificates of Gen. Meade and the Corps Commanders, which appear on its face, establish its accuracy on the highest authority. Your personal explorations, and your inquiries of all the commissioned officers in command of the Union Army, and of the Confederate officers made prisoners, have furnished you means of information not possessed, I imagine, by any other person. Such opportunities of observation as I had during three days pa.s.sed at Gettysburg satisfy me of the fidelity of your delineation of the position of every regiment of the two armies on each of the three eventful days. * * * * I may add, that the engraving is beautifully executed and colored. Wis.h.i.+ng you ample remuneration,

”I remain sincerely yours, ”EDWARD EVERETT.”
