An original steel engraving printed in 1867 of the Bombardment of Forts Walker and Beauregard in Port Royal, South Carolina 1861. It is framed with an original 1862 hand signed “Two Dollars” note issued by “Bank of the State of South Carolina” in Charleston, South Carolina. The note was engraved by “Bald Adams & Co. New York” and has the hand inscribed serial number “340”. The central vignette is of the State house with Calhoun at right and Elmore at left. It has the red "TWO" overprint and was printed on one side only.
The hand made solid Poplar frame with distressed milk paint finish (brown over gray) is 11” x 14” (glass) in size. All of the frame and display work was done in our cabinet shop here in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The frame is ready to hang. The wire is recessed which allows the frame to rest flat back to the wall as in a museum mount. The “bumpons” on each back corner protect the wall and keep the frame level. The certificate will have the information on the bullets and other artifacts which can be taped to the back of the frame for reference.
All of the artifacts are guaranteed to be original Civil War issue as stated. A hand signed and dated “Certificate of Authenticity” will be issued by Collectors Frame with a photograph of the item purchased. Please see our "About Collectors Frame”, deals below the reviews on the front page, for more information on the framing and artifacts.
