When Egypt under Muhammad Ali Pasha tried to break away from the Ottoman Empire, Britain joined the Ottomans, Russians, Austrians and Prussians to crush his rebellion. After shelling Sidon and Beirut in September 1840 the Allied fleet moved to Acre: opening fire on the city on the 3rd November they hit the defender's magazine, blowing up sixty thousand square yards of buildings and killing 1,200. They continued firing until dusk, taking possession of the city the following day. Muhammad Ali finally accepted terms on the 27th.

The interior of a Chinese opium den. Sir Harry Darell (1814-53), Baronet of Richmond Hill, entered the army as an ensign in the 18th Foot in 1832, becoming lieutenant in 1835. During the First Opium War he was aide-de-camp of Brigadier-General Burrell of the 18th Irish Regiment: he was present at a conference between J.J.Gordon Bremer and Admiral Chang on board HMS Wellesley (4th July 1840, subject of a lithograph by Darell also published 1842, which includes a self-portrait), just prior to the Taking of Chusan, at which he fought. He was promoted to Captain in 1841. He then served in South Africa with the 7th Dragoon Guards, being promoted to Major in 1847, then Lieut-Colonel by brevet the following year. He died in Sardinia. Although he published 'China, India, Cape of Good Hope and Vicinity. A Series of Thirteen Treble-Tinted Views from Sketches by Lieut.-Col. Sir Harry Darell, Bar.t', this plate predates the book by a decade. This plate seems to be a pair to his view of the Chusan Conference.
