Moore, 2012 DESCRIPTIVE SUMMARY Repository: The Mariners' Museum Library Title: Merrimac & Monitor Post Card Company “Virginia in Dry Dock” Postcard Inclusive Dates: 1906 Catalog number: MS0429 Physical Characteristics: 1 picture postcard Language: English Creator: Merrimac & Monitor Post Card Company (Firm); Richardson, Benjamin A. (Benjamin Adworth) HISTORICAL SKETCH The Merrimac & Monitor Post Card Company was formed in 1906 with the immediate purpose of issuing commemorative postcards to be sold during the Jamestown Tercentenary celebration in 1907. The company produced postcards commemorating the events of Mar.8 and 9, 1862 during the Battle of Hampton Roads. It also created postcards pertaining to the life of CSS Virginia. They range from the April 19, 1861 destruction at the Gosport Navy Yard of the US steam frigate Merrimack, from whose hulk Virginia was built, to the destruction of the ironclad on the shores of Craney Island, Virginia, on May 10-11, 1862 at the hands of its own crew. The paintings on the postcards were taken from a series of original works by Benjamin A. Richardson (1833-1909). Richardson, born in Portsmouth, was a self-taught, amateur artist. Early in life, he earned a living as a house and sign painter. During the Civil War, Richardson enlisted in Norfolk as a private in the Confederate States Army in the United Artillery under Captain Thomas Kevill.
