Single sheet, mounted on heavy stock (image: 14 ½ x 18 inches; mount: 18 ¾ x 21 ¾ inches). Fine albumen print on original mount with MANUSCRIPT caption (mount a bit browned).

He selected a tract of meadowland in Hartford and built an armory consisting of two parallel buildings, three stories high and 500 feet long, connected by a central building, which was 250 feet in length. He also built other buildings for offices and warehouses. In 1861, a second building of the same size was erected. All of the balls, cartridges, bullet-molds, powder flasks and lubricators were manufactured at the armory and most of them were the invention of Colt or his employees. Colt success continued into the exporting of his firearms to England and Russia. In addition, Colt invented a submarine battery for the defense of harbors, and was the first to conceive and practically test the project of a submarine telegraph cable" (Connecticut Historical Dictionary).…
