Two CDVs of Fort Sumter Taken After the Surrender of Robert Anderson
Lot of 2 CDVs capturing scenes at Fort Sumter after the surrender of Brigadier General Robert Anderson in 1861.
One photograph of Confederate origin shows the Fort's southern facade. Handwritten, inked inscription on verso: " View of a portion of the south face of Sumter with Sally-Port three days after evacuation by Maj. Anderson ."
The second photograph shows the interior of Fort Sumter, with backmark of E. Anthony, New York, NY. Soldiers are visible in the foreground surveying the damage, with cannon at lower right. According to an inscription on verso, the officers' quarters are to the left of the central gateway. A longer handwritten note accompanies the CDV and provides even greater detail, stating in part, " In the foreground is seen boxes of oyster shells used for making lime. . . near the box on the right is seen the lantern from the light house. . . which Major Anderson removed. " The description also notes that Anderson's quarters were originally located above the gateway but were later relocated to the space above the distributing room of the magazine.Small holes, as though for display, on left edge of mat of interior view.Condition
