The Story of a Picture is a book written by Frank Ried Diffenderffer, first published in 1905. It is a historical and biographical account of the creation and significance of a painting called The Battle of Gettysburg by Paul Philippoteaux. The book provides a detailed exploration of the painting's creation, from its conception to its unveiling at the Gettysburg Cyclorama in 1884. Diffenderffer also delves into the life and career of Philippoteaux, a French artist who specialized in large-scale panoramic paintings. The book examines Philippoteaux's artistic influences and techniques, as well as his experiences during the Franco-Prussian War and his subsequent move to the United States. Throughout the book, Diffenderffer provides a vivid description of the painting itself, including its composition, details, and symbolism. He also explores the historical context of the Battle of Gettysburg and its significance in American history. Overall, The Story of a Picture is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in art, history, and the intersection of the two.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
