Unfortunately, the area around the Angle and Copse of Trees was not the subject of any photographer until William Tipton's 1882 panoramas taken from Hancock Avenue. Tipton recorded a series of 360 degree photos for French artist Paul Philippoteaux to use as a model for his Cyclorama painting. Below is a detail from one of Tipton's 1882 images that includes the Copse of Trees as it appeared less than 20 years after the battle. My similar modern photo shows the farm lane, now Hancock Avenue is crowded with monuments and tourists.
