The city was rebuilt with austere post-war materials. Today, in an attempt to reinfuse the city with more joy and mirth, there is a campaign in effect to 'colourise' the city by painting building facades much like Rainbow Row in Charleston.
Zachary Taylor. Circa 1847. By James Maquire. This daguerreotype (half plate) was most likely made in November 1847, when Zachary Taylor returned to a hero’s welcome in New Orleans after the U.S. victory in the Mexican-American War. It represents Taylor in his major general’s uniform and is an original portrait from life. This is evident from the daguerreotype’s lateral reversal, or “mirror image,” which causes Taylor’s jacket to appear to button right-over-left rather than left-over-right. Reproduced and widely circulated in the form of engravings and lithographic prints, this image of the general proved enormously popular. Daguerreotype copies in several formats were also produced.

Digital illustration inspired by illustrator Peter Mohrbacher. Painted using Procreate. The resulting digital illustration (WIP) from experimenting with various digital techniques. The vivid colourisation and the character of subject is inspired by the 'Angels' drawn by the illustrator. The character itself is an original character that was made to test contemporary body forms and was inspired by orange peels as they naturally have a peeled but smooth broken look.

This photograph became the property of Lord Lister's nieces, and was sold by auction on the death of Miss Edith M. Lister of Leytonstone, 1950.
Hon. Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States. The short haircut was perhaps suggested by Lincoln's barber to facilitate the taking of his life mask by Clark Mills. Lincoln knew from experience how long hair could cling to plaster. An 1865 stereograph long attributed to Mathew Brady was actually taken by Lewis Emory Walker, a government photographer, about February 1865 and published for him by the E. & H. T. Anthony Co., of New York. Photographer: Lewis Emory Walker
Charles Francis Jenkins (2nd from left) showing his Mirror Drum Television Receiver. Year 1928. Photographed by Harris & Ewing. In 1928 Charles Jenkins was granted the first commercial television license in the United States and In July 2, 1928 Jenkins Television Corporation started to operate W3XK, the first TV station, first aired from Jenkins Labs in Washington and from 1929 on from Wheaton, Maryland, five nights a week. It seems plausable that this image was taken in Charles Jenkins Laboratories, Washington D.C..
Charleston, S.C. View of ruined buildings through porch of the Circular Church (150 Meeting Street). April 1865. Photographer: George N. Barnard. Sky is replaced in this version. Four African American Children sit at the base of a large Greek Column. Photographs of the Federal Navy, and seaborne expeditions against the Atlantic Coast of the Confederacy -- specifically of Charleston, S.C. 1863-1865. General Gillmore's success at Fort Pulaski earned him the conduct of a much more difficult undertaking: the reduction of the defenses of Charleston Harbor, with the aid of a squadron under Rear Adm. John A. Dahlgren. Operations began early in July 1863; by October hard work and heavy losses had reduced Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg (renamed Fort Putnam by the Federals) on Morris Island, and had silenced Fort Sumter. But no further progress was made until February 18, 1865, when Gen. William T. Sherman's approach overland broght about the evacuation of Charleston. The photographers who came to record the flag-raising ceremony at Fort Sumter on April 14, 1865, just 4 years after the surrender with which the Civil War opened, thoroughly documented the forts, Federal and Confederate, and the lovely old city, which fortunately had received only limited damage. Present-day addresses for the Charleton buildings are added when possible; the movement is in general inland from the Battery along Market Street, with excursions down side streets as they are reached, and left to the Arsenal at the then limits of town.
