Fort Sumter SC Interior Gabions Color Tinted photo Civil War 02315

Description: This is an original period image from the Library of Congress, the National Archives and other quality sources restored and tinted by the internationally known color artist and author of "Restoring and Tinting Vintage Images", David Richardson. This is an exclusive listing of his work on ebay. Each image is taken from a high resolution negative and then cleaned of blemishes, damage, scratches, and whatever the decades have caused. Then the image is carefully brought back to life by adding color to the black and white image. By using these techniques the hands of time are turned back and for the first time you can see the images in color as they might have been on the day they were taken. You have your choice of size and finish for the photo. Note that the size you choose may require cropping and the finished image may appear slightly different than the one shown. If preferred a white border can be added above/below or left/right to allow all of the original image to print. Unless requested when placing your order, your image may be cropped. If you would like to see how a specific image will look for the size you have chosen, please contact us and indicate the size you are interested in. Matte Finish: E-Surface Photo Paper is by far our most popular photographic paper. As a professional paper, it boasts rich, sharp color that won't fade or yellow, creating beautiful prints that will last for years to come. Glossy (Metallic) finish: Our Metallic Photo Paper features a unique pearlescent surface. It offers highly saturated colors, ultra-bright backgrounds, and will last a lifetime with typical home storage. Interior view of Fort Sumter Charleston, South Carolina April 1865 After Fort Sumter fell to Confederate forces in April of 1861 it became a stronghold of the Confederacy. Within two years though it was back under attack by Union forces. With repeated shelling much of the defenses had eroded, which would have left the fort vulnerable. To compensate gabion walls were used to replace or repair damage from the shelling. Gabions comes from the Italian word gabbione which means “bird cage”. Leonardo da Vinci had used gabions a few hundred years before to reinforce medieval castles and the practice continues to this day. Essentially a wicker basket was made and then filled with rocks, dirt and sand. By doing this you could quickly rebuild or reinforce a structure allowing it to still operate effectively as a fort. By using local material you could easily re-use the rubble from the shelling to still provide effective walls. You could even use this to multiply the thickness of existing walls and further enhance the fort. As shown in this image the gabions can be extended vertically as well as horizontally allowing you to quickly grow walls several stories tall. Today gabions are typically made with a wire or plastic mesh. The use of these is not only seen in military applications today, but also can be found along highways and roadways allowing long lasting protective walls to be made for anything from falling rocks to supporting the road deck.
