Antietam National Battlefield, Maryland
Antietam National Battlefield is a National Park Service-protected area along Antietam Creek in Sharpsburg, in northwestern Maryland. It commemorates the American Civil War Battle of Antietam. It was the Bloodiest Day in American History—23,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing after twelve hours of savage combat on September 17, 1862. The Battle of Antietam ended the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia's first invasion into the North and led Abraham Lincoln to issue the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation. Anderson Design Group poster artists hand-rendered this original illustration in the fashion of vintage poster art and classic travel art from the 20th Century. This retro design and original National Park art is available as a poster, print, canvas, mini canvas, metal sign, notecard, or postcard.
