Private Collection, Toronto

Note:

In Sword Gates, the artist depicts an important Charleston landmark. The Sword Gates were made by ironworker Christopher Werner in 1838 for the city's new Guard House. They were never used until George A. Hopley installed them circa 1849. During the Charleston Renaissance in the early 20th century, the walls and gates on both Tradd and Legare Street were artists' favourites.
