The image showcases the imposing structure of the city jail, with its sturdy walls and barred windows. This print, created by an anonymous American School artist, is part of a private collection. The engraving was originally featured in "The Southern States of North America" a publication illustrated by J Wells Champney in 1875. It provides historical context to this artwork and sheds light on the social climate at the time. The black-and-white composition adds to its somber tone and emphasizes the seriousness associated with incarceration.
