Civil War Reunion Photo - Devils Den

Civil War Reunion Photo - Devils Den

I rescued an 1890's-era photograph from the family basement. It is an 1890's-era reunion photo taken at Devil's Den, Gettysburg by Mumper & Co. There is nothing obvious in the image to identify the unit. I have found similar photos via Google images but no match. Can someone suggest a library or archive that specializes in this sort of image to help me with identification? Most of the usual suspects focus on images from the war itself, not veterans.

I've attached a scan of the lower right quadrant. Original is too large to scan on my scanner.

Who could they have been?
I know Maine Veterans of Gettysburg meet here...and also Rhode Island Veterans meet here as well!
Did you have any CW Veterans that could have come from MAine or New York or Minnesota?

Seeing that the photo was found in the Philadelphia area, I'd guess a Pennsylvania unit. The most likely connection would be the 88th PA Vol inf. with which my wife's family has connections. At the moment, this is all I have.

Thanks for the suggestions.
