Description:
This 18th century depiction of the battle of Bunker Hill (actually, Breed's Hill) shows four British ships in the foreground, while a British battery on Copp's Hill in Boston fires rockets into Charlestown, which is seriously on fire. A wonderfully evocative view of a signature event at the very beginning of the American Revolution. Reference: Cresswell,The American Revolution in Drawings and Prints: 253 Condition: Light foxing and soiling with roughness at lower edge where removed from the volume; otherwise very good.[ICN 7559.]
