Anthony Stereoview of the "Ruins of Central Hall, Charleston, S.C., Effects of the Great Fire in 1862"

Here is a great view of the ruins of the Circular Church with Saint Michael’s Church in the background. This is a yellow mount (earlier) stereoview in fine condition and “Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1865 by E. & H. T. Anthony & Co.” marking at the bottom. The stereoview has good clarity and contrast and is in fine condition with the typical aging. A wonderful view of historic Charleston devastated by fire and war! Saint Michael’s Church served as an observation post lookout for the Confederacy to spot Union vessels coming into the harbor.
