Prints from the NYPL

These images of British forces travelling by river are excellent so I thought you might like a look. They are:


The Landing of the British Forces in the Jerseys on the 20th of November 1776, Under the Command of the Rt. Honl. Lieut. Genl. Earl Cornwallis Possibly Thomas Davies (British, ca. 1737–1812) Watercolor and pen & ink, 1776 from here

and

A View of the Attack Against Fort Washington and Rebel Redouts near New York on the 16 of November 1776 by the British and Hessian Brigades Thomas Davies (British, ca. 1737–1812) Watercolor and pen & ink, 1776
