OriginalThure de Thulstrup's Battle of Gettysburg illustration for L. Prang & Co.'s series on the American Civil War, showing Pickett's Charge.
Reason
Frankly, I consider it fairly obvious. the L. Prang & Co. series of images are considered some of the most artistic depictions of the American Civil War. I'm rather considering just going down the sequence.

FP category for this image
Wikipedia:Featured pictures/History/American Civil War. Yes, that doesn't exist. But by my count, we have 13 images so far, including two on the Lincoln assassination. 15 if you count the Lincoln election campaign, and they're divided between USA History and other wars. That's nearly as many as WWI has, and I have approximately 7 more images of the ACW sitting on my deviantArt account, waiting to be brought over. =)
