About the Item

Original etching by well-known Charleston, SC artist Elizabeth O’Neill Verner. Title: “In the Shadow of St. Michael’s - Charleston” Measures: 9 7/8 x 7 3/4 image size. 17 7/8 x 13 7/8 mat size. Created circa 1928. The print is no. 28 of the edition of 40. Pencil signed and numbered lower right. Pencil titled lower left. Elizabeth Quale O’Neill Verner (1883-1979) was a leader in establishing Charleston, South Carolina as a dynamic cultural center. She depicted the historic city's seemingly endless supply of subject matter including lush landscape, architectural landmarks, and local people. She was proficient as an etcher and a member of the Charleston Etcher's Club whose members created etchings of Charleston's historic architecture. Their work, published in national media, brought widespread attention to the charms of the area. She also served as a guide to Charleston and wrote and illustrated several books that furthered her own career as well as promoted Charleston as a visitor destination. When the mayor tried to outlaw flower vendors, she fought to retain these black women who came from outlying areas to sell their flowers and handmade baskets. They were regularly the subjects in her etchings. Her former home and studio from 1938 is now The Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Museum at 79 Church Street in Charleston.
