This is another of Habermann's fictitious interpretation history. Here he shows British troops marching in triumph through his imaginary New York City. However, on this copy, the title appears at the bottom of the print and is not a mirror image as appears on the top of the original. Also, all other letters are missing, including the name of the engraver and the copyright. There also is no descriptive caption in both German and French at the bottom. What does appear in the bottom left corner is: Aaaa. No.4."
Designed to appear three-dimensional when viewed with a special device. The mirror image of the title may be related to this effect..
