Historical Fort and Paddle Steamer Print

The item is a framed art print depicting a historical scene likely related to the American Civil War. The print features a large, brick fort or building in the background. A side-wheel paddle steamer is in the foreground on the water. The steamer is white with visible paddle wheels and a smoking smokestack. The water is depicted with reflections and surrounding marshy vegetation. A small white bird is visible in the water or reeds. A flag, possibly a Confederate flag given the context of a paddle steamer and fort, is flying from a pole atop the fort structure. There appears to be a signature and possibly a title beneath the image in the margin, suggesting it is a limited edition print or a work by a known artist. The print is housed within a double mat, a white inner mat and a cream outer mat, and framed in a light-colored wooden frame with a visible brass plaque or plate at the bottom center of the frame. The frame shows some wear, particularly along the bottom edge and corners, with some scratching and loss of finish. The brass plaque or plate has a small mounting hole visible. The print appears to be in fair to good condition, with some potential yellowing evident in the matting from age. The style is realistic and likely depicts a specific historical event or location.
