Confederate Dead at Devil's Den Gettysburg

Original - Body of Confederate sharpshooter, behind famous shooting blind at Devil's Den. (Taken on July 6 or July 7, 1863, by Alexander Gardner. Recent scholarship strongly suggests that the photo was staged for dramatic effect with a body recovered elsewhere).

Version 2. Restored using photoshop.

This is a historic picture that is depicting a small portion of the bloodiest battle in the American Civil War. It meets the size requirement by more than triple. Furthermore, the image is the object of some doubt because of the fact that some scholars believe it to be staged. The image shows great details of the fallen solider and the location he died. There is a bit of wear on the image with a rip down the center of the picture and a few other artifacts that make me question putting this up for FPC. I'd like to the feedback of people here, and if possible some minor cosmetic help to help with the aging issues. --ZeWrestler ^Talk 03:40, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

• As a minimum it would need to be restored to remove the cracks in the plate and other issues. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 03:59, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
