William H. Tipton (1850-1929) was a famed American photographer who as young apprentice to the Tyson brothers, was one of the first photographers to document the bloody aftermath of the Battle of Gettysburg, and over his career he amassed thousands of images of this and other Civil War sites.

"In the production of these view's it is my aim to excel not only to make them as perfect as possible in manipulation, but in artistic merit also always selecting the positions for picturesque effect as well as truthfulness, and endeavoring to make them a source of pleasure as well as instruction" - from W.H. Tipton's catalog of Gettysburg views.
