EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving takes us back to a significant moment in history - the main battery at Fort Sumter during the American Civil War. The image showcases the power and might of this strategic military installation, with its cannons pointed towards Fort Moultie and the channel. The Victorian-style hand-coloured engraving beautifully captures every detail, from the soldiers in their uniforms to the imposing artillery pieces ready for action. It is evident that this print was created with great care and precision. Published in the Illustrated London News on May 11,1861, this artwork offers a glimpse into a crucial event that took place just weeks prior - Friday, April 12th. As we admire this piece today, it serves as a reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those involved in defending Fort Sumter. The location itself holds historical significance as well; situated in South Carolina, USA, Fort Sumter played a pivotal role in shaping America's future during one of its most tumultuous periods. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we can now appreciate this remarkable depiction of an important chapter in our shared history. Let us reflect upon these brave men who stood strong against adversity while appreciating both their courage and artistic representation through this stunning engraving.
