The scene is bustling with activity as supplies, guns, and ammunition are being unloaded from ships while more troop vessels arrive on the horizon. In the distance, smoke billows into the sky as St Pauls Battery is blown up, symbolizing a strategic victory for the forces involved. The lithograph beautifully depicts both naval warfare and land operations taking place simultaneously. The color palette chosen by Christopher Simpson adds depth and vibrancy to this 19th-century artwork.
