This print was included in a series titled Six Views of the Most Remarkable Places in the Gulf and River of St Laurence. This print is from a series of twenty-eight prints of American scenes published under the title Scenographia Americana in 1768. The images range widely in content and geographical location, depicting the military structures at Port Royal in Guadeloupe as well as the wilderness of Passaic Falls in New Jersey. Many of the prints commemorated sites where the English were victorious during the Seven Years War, and were the first, large, accurate, and elaborately engraved series of views of America.
