About Fort Sumter

Situated at the entrance of Charleston Harbor, Fort Sumter stands as a cornerstone of American history. Built in the 1820s to defend the Southern coastline, it became a defining symbol when Confederate artillery fired upon the Union garrison in 1861—igniting the start of the Civil War. Today, Fort Sumter remains preserved as a national monument, inviting visitors to explore its storied walls and sweeping views of the Atlantic. This print pays homage to its dual legacy of strength and reflection, connecting past and present through artful simplicity.
