A significant historical artifact, this print offers a glimpse into the important role played by Fort Monroe during the American Civil War. Throughout the war, Union forces held this strategic fortification, launching numerous sea and land expeditions from its shores. The image itself exudes an air of antiquity with its woodcut style and engraved details. It transports us back to the 19th century, capturing the essence of that era's cartography. The print depicts not only Fort Monroe but also highlights various coastal features such as the James River and Chesapeake Bay.
