Four plate print series of the Battle of the USS Constitution and the HMS Java
A recently and tastefully re-framed, 4 plate print series of the battle between USS Constitution and HMS Java. Each 29 X 26 inch print sequentially depicts the highlights of this naval battle fought on December 29, 1812. The Constitution was victorious that day, but the prints, actually commissioned by the British, enable them to explain that the Java, out-gunned and out-manned, stood no chance against a superior force.
