J.T. Serres Del. J. Jeakes Aculp.
Published [scratched out, c.1805.]
Scarce colour-printed aquatint with hand finishing. 430 x 570mm (17 x 22½"), on Whatman paper.
A view of the arrival of Two Royal Navy ships, both captured from the French, at Constantinople. 'La Bonne Citoyen' was carrying the Turkish Ambassador back to the city, protected by Le Tigre, commanded by Sir William Sydney Smith. The vessels and several Constantinople landmarks are identified by a key at the top of the print. At this time Napoleon had brought an army of 13,000 north out of Egypt into Ottoman Syria, capturing Gaza and Jaffa before moving onto Acre. Smith sailed from Constantinople and helped reinforce Acre's defences, then captured the French artillery being carried by sea for the siege. Thus weakened, Napoleon made two assaults on Acre before withdrawing back to Egypt. His ambitions in the Levant thwarted, Napoleon said of Smith: 'That man made me miss my destiny'.

A view of the Temple of Concord, The print depicts an architectural structure erected for the fireworks display held 1 August 1814 in Green Park, London, to celebrate the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the Jubilee of George III. The mastermind behind the Temple was Lieutenant Colonel Sir William Congreve (1772–1828), a rocket designer and Comptroller of the Royal Laboratory at Woolwich. Congreve designed the Temple with assistance from stage designers from the Theatre Royal and master engineers. It was an elaborate structure illuminated with colored lamps and decorated with gilding, festoons, and painted transparencies. Congreve had commissioned some of the nation’s best artists such as Thomas Stothard (1755 – 1834) to design and paint allegorical scenes on these ‘transparencies’, each tableau praising ‘the Triumph of England under the Regency’. When illuminated from inside it was made to revolve, so that spectators might view each side in turn.
