This etching shows the Orange County courthouse in Hillsboro, North Carolina, the county seat of a town founded in the mid-1700s. Hillsboro grew up as a center of colonial trade and law, and it held a prominent place in state politics during the Revolutionary era. The record dates the print to 1949 and credits L. Orr as the artist. As an etching, the image relies on fine lines and tonal shading, and its close view of the building's architectural details highlights the courthouse as a civic landmark in a small Southern town.
