EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to a pivotal moment in American history - the Union army spiking the cannons of Fort Moultrie before their evacuation to Fort Sumter. The year is 1860, and tensions are running high as the nation teeters on the brink of civil war. This powerful illustration captures both the destruction and determination that characterized this turbulent period. In vivid detail, we witness Union soldiers diligently disabling these formidable artillery pieces, symbolizing their strategic move towards Fort Sumter. As smoke billows from the spiked cannons, it serves as a poignant reminder of the impending conflict that would engulf North America for years to come. The historic significance of this image cannot be overstated. It represents not only an act of rebellion by South Carolina but also showcases the might and resilience of both sides involved in this struggle for power. Major Anderson and his Federal Army play a central role in this visual narrative, highlighting their crucial decision-making during these uncertain times. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork, we are transported back to Charleston in December 1860 - a city torn between secession and loyalty to the United States. This print stands as a testament to our shared history and reminds us of how far our nation has come since those tumultuous days.
