Gen. George G. Meade, who was Commander of the Army of the Potomac and the Commanding officer of the Union Forces at the battle of Gettysburg; no marks, but the plate has an embossed alphabet border; 4) a 6” plate showing the “Arrival of General McClellan” (to be commander of the Union forces, presumably) in 1861, a rank he held until he was replaced in 1864 for moving too cautiously (slowly); black transfer image with a hand-colored American flag and green grass below McClellan’s horse; embossed alphabet border with red line on the very edge of the plate; no marks. Except for the surface blemish on the General Meade plate (at about 3 o’clock), all 4 plates are in excellent condition with no chips, cracks, lines, or restorations.
