This view shows the courthouse in De Witt, the seat of Arkansas County in eastern Arkansas, though the caption card gives no date. In small Southern county seats, the courthouse was usually the most substantial public building in town, housing county offices, records, and the courtroom, so photographs of these buildings often documented local government. Images like this were made for official use, county histories, and postcards. Worth noticing are the building's form, materials, and setting, which reflect the civic priorities and architectural tastes of its period.
