The High Water Mark by Don Troiani. The print depicts the fighting at the Codori Farm off of Emmitsburg Road during the Battle of Gettysburg on July 3, 1863. Charging forward from the right are men from the 28th Virginia, 14th Virginia, 57th Virginia, 53rd Virginia, and 56th Virginia Regiments, all rallied by Brigadier General Lewis A. Armistead, with his hat stuck on his upraised sword, bridged the stone wall as they break through the Union line and overwhelm Cushing's artillery battery. This valiant effort would be the final actions of Armistead, as he was shot in the arm and leg, captured, and taken to the hospital on the Spangler farm where he died of exhaustion 2 days later on July 5. The figures in the print are wonderfully detailed from their facial expressions, down to each piece of gear they are wearing. The print is numbered in pencil "369/1250" on the lower left corner and signed by Don Troiani on the lower right corner. The print comes with a certificate of authenticity which is contained in an envelope on the back of the frame. CONDITION: The colors remain vibrant with no signs of fading. The print is wonderfully framed and ready to hang. Overall excellent. JLD
