Description

Hand tinted lithograph depicting the Arsenal in Key West in 1842. The building did not actually exist in Key West. It is likely an artist's interpretation of a structure based on Asa Tift's tower. The lithograph was published in 'Vues et souvenirs de l'Amérique du Nord' By Francis de Castelnau.
