Semaphore at Portsmouth
A view of the entrance to Portsmouth harbour from the saluting platform. In the foreground, two soldiers sit on the wall next to a cannon on an iron carriage and, to the right, the artist has shown a pile of cannon balls. Also, to the right, can be seen the semaphore tower flying a flag signal. Beyond to the left, lies the town of Portsmouth with the pier and Round Tower. To the left of the Round Tower is the port flagship, the 'Britannia'.
