This is an authentic 19th-century albumen stereoview showing the devastation and improvised defenses at Fort Sumter at the close of the American Civil War.
Visual Highlights
●Gabion Defenses: Prominent rows of gabions and defensive works in the foreground and mid-ground.
●Human Scale: Note the small figures of soldiers or observers on the distant parapet, giving a sense of the fort’s massive scale.
●Historical Context: After the initial 1861 battle, Fort Sumter was reduced to rubble by Union siege guns. This view captures the "earthwork" fort it had become by 1865.
Condition Notes
●Front: The dual albumen prints show good detail and contrast for their age. Some minor foxing (age spots) and edge wear consistent with a 160-year-old photograph.
●Mount: The classic orange/yellow card mount is sturdy with rounded corners.
●Verso (Back): Features a clear, period handwritten inscription: "No. 239 Interior of Fort Sumpter looking Toward Charleston
