Lithograph of Fort Moultrie in 1855, as its Federal garrison stood guard on Sullivan's Island beside the entrance into Charleston Harbour, South Carolina. Civilians can be seen strolling past the fort's southeastern face and along its windswept sandy shoreline, with merchant ships visible in the distance at left.

This engraving was created by the Charleston printers Benjamin F. Evans and Harvey Cogswell, to adorn commercial currency issued by the Bank of the State of South Carolina. It would be featured on bills of various denominations issued by that institution, both prior to and throughout the Civil War years.
