Many of the best artists of the day earned their bread and butter creating the original designs for these prints and engraving them. In this case, W.A Rogers drew a series of vignettes showing in the southern most reaches of Florida in the late 19th century including a residence, the naval depot, the Custom House, men enjoying green turtle soup, preparing sponges for the market, a milk-man on his rounds and a Key West yacht.The minutely detailed original prints provided wonderful glimpses into the daily life of the period and provide invaluable information concerning the architectural detail of specific locations and individual buildings."
