Description:

Postcard of a hand wrought iron gate at a residence in Charleston, S.C. Back of postcard reads, "Many fine examples of handwrought iron gateways and grilles, reminders of the 18th and 19th centuries, are in view in Charleston. These wrought iron gateways are as famous in Charleston as are the wrought iron overhead grilles and balconies of New Orleans. The ironsmiths developed their art to perfection. Much of the work was hand hammered by slave labor."
