A Glimpse of Charleston and Bay, from St. Michaels Church, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting town of Charleston in the late 19th century. Captured by John J. Harley, it offers a mesmerizing view of both the bustling city and the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Standing tall amidst this picturesque landscape is St. Michaels Church, an architectural gem that was erected in the 1750s. Its elegant archways, balustrades, and bell tower add a touch of grandeur to this charming coastal town. Intriguingly, as we explore this scene further, our attention is drawn to a man diligently mopping one of the church's arches. Engrossed in his task with bucket in hand, he adds a human element to this otherwise serene setting. The presence of doves perched on various parts of the church also adds a sense of tranquility and spirituality to the scene. These gentle creatures symbolize peace and harmony within Charleston's vibrant community. This remarkable print is part of "Picturesque America; or The Land We Live In" edited by William Cullen Bryant—a literary work that aimed to capture America's natural beauty through pen and pencil illustrations created by eminent American artists such as Harry Fenn. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when Charleston thrived as a bustling port city while maintaining its unique charm against the backdrop of nature's awe-inspiring wonders—the perfect blend between urban life and coastal serenity.
