Description
Chromolithograph depicts the Battle of Mobile Bay. The print features a dozen ships of varying sizes firing upon each other with canons--some of the vessels have capsized and others are smoking. The rebel fort on the left side of the image appears to be smoking also. For more information on this and other Prang Civil War chromolithographs, see Prang's Civil War Pictures: the Complete Battle Chromos of Louis Prang with the Full "Descriptive Texts" edited and with an introduction by Harold Holzer.
