1861-Dated Civil War Period Engraved Color Print titled, "Fortress Monroe, Old Point Comfort and Hygeia Hotel, Va.", "Publ & Sold by C. Bohn, Washington, D.C.", Fine.
This Civil War Period Virginia theme Print is titled: "Fortress Monroe, Old Point Comfort, and Hygeia Hotel, Va." depicting the landscape and waters surroundings of Old Point Comfort, including the fortress, the Hygeia Hotel, and possibly other notable features of the area, including the various period ships both sail and steam. It would serve as both a historical record and a piece of art capturing the beauty and significance of the location during the time it was created. The wove paper sheet measures a large 22.5" tall x 31.75" long. Overall, light even tone with heavier tone from prior framing at its outer edge, one hidden 2" split at top right, having a few scattered heavier tone spots within the print. At bottom left the small text reads: "Drawn From Nature, Lith. & Print by E. Sachse & Co. 104 S. Charles St. Balto. (Baltimore)".
The Print "Fortress Monroe, Old Point Comfort, and Hygeia Hotel, Va." refers to a historical depiction of the area around Fortress Monroe and the Hygeia Hotel in Virginia. Old Point Comfort is a historic site located in present-day Hampton, Virginia. It is situated at the tip of the Virginia Peninsula, where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. Fortress Monroe, also known as Fort Monroe, is a military installation located at Old Point Comfort.
Constructed between 1819 and 1834, Fortress Monroe is a former military fortification that played a significant role in American history. It was designed to protect the entrance to the harbor of Hampton Roads and served as a key Union stronghold during the Civil War.
The Hygeia Hotel was a famous resort hotel that operated at Old Point Comfort during the 19th century. It was renowned for its therapeutic waters and attracted many wealthy guests seeking relaxation and health benefits from the mineral springs in the area. The hotel became particularly popular as a summer destination for affluent families from the South.
