United States Ironclad Baron de Kalb before 1863

This black and white photograph, created before 1863 by an anonymous artist, depicts the United States Ironclad "Baron de Kalb" in a calm river setting. This image is likely a historical record of the vessel, possibly taken during the American Civil War. The photograph's title and handwritten caption "Launched October 12, 1861" provide valuable information for historical research and the study of 19th-century naval architecture.
