“Charleston During the Civil War”
closeups to show detail
At the beginning of the Civil War the Union Navy blockaded Charleston, but the harbor was protected by several forts. The blockading squadron watched and waited from a distance while harbor traffic went on within the protective range of the confederate cannons. One of the forts was Castle Pinckney, which is seen at the right in the painting. At center are the two ironclads built in Charleston, the Chicora and the Palmetto State, and behind them on the waterfront is the Exchange & Custom House. Visible on the skyline are the steeples of the churchs St. Michael's and St. Philip's. A topsail schooner waits for nighttime, when perhaps she will attempt to run the blockade.

The prints are giclees (pronounced zhee-CLAY), which are high quality prints made with archival inks.
Compared with traditional lithographic prints, giclees have more color range and more accurate reproduction. Giclees are very high-resolution, so the details are more crisp.
