EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history - the bombardment of Charleston during the Civil War. The scene depicts Fort Moultrie, standing tall and defiant amidst the chaos and destruction that surrounds it. The artist's attention to detail transports us to this fortified fortress wall, where we witness the relentless bombing raids inflicted upon Charleston. Smoke billows from every direction as explosions light up the sky, painting a grim picture of war-torn South Carolina. Amidst this turmoil, Fort Moultrie stands resolute, its ramparts serving as a symbol of strength and resilience. It is an alcazar against which waves of enemy attacks crash futilely. The fortifications bear witness to countless bombings but remain steadfast in their defense. This engraving not only captures a specific moment in time but also encapsulates the spirit of America's struggle during this dark chapter. It serves as a reminder of both the horrors endured by those caught in conflict and their unwavering determination to protect what they hold dear. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to an era when brother fought against brother on American soil. It is through such historical documentation that we gain insight into our past and honor those who sacrificed so much for their beliefs.
