Brady Photograph of St. John and St. Finbar, Charleston

An impressive large photograph of the first Catholic cathedral in Charleston, South Carolina. The cathedral was consecrated in 1854, but unfortunately was destroyed by a devastating fire in December of 1861. This photo was once misidentified as Richmond after the war, but there is now a corrected inscription on the back which also makes the point that the fire was not war related.

Signed lower left “Brady”.

The image measures 10.25 x 12.6

USA 1865 c.H: 12.25"W: 13.8"
