Wonderful vintage souvenir of Wiscasset, Maine, that features the blockhouse at Davis Island, off Wiscasset, Maine; this blockhouse figured in the War of 1812.
I used a small microscope on the painting and believe that it was hand painted, but I could be wrong.
Read more about Fort Edgecomb here.
For a definitive history of the Block House and Fort Edgecomb, see the book Blockhouse & Battery, A History of Fort Edgecomb, written by Joshua M. Smith and published by the Friends of Fort Edgecomb in 2009.
The souvenir measures approximately 8" by 5-1/2"; it's then folded roughly in half, leaving a tab to protect the interior. The painting, without the identification, is approximately 3-1/2" by 2".
