ltwilliammowett: Battle of Boston Harbor, USS Chesapeak and HMS Shannon, 1 June 1813, by Isiah Whyte
ltwilliammowett: Battle of Boston Harbor, USS Chesapeak and HMS Shannon, 1 June 1813, by Isiah Whyte c. 1820This very unusual picture is not unusual because of the subject matter; after all, the legendary capture of the USS Chesapeak was a very popular subject with the British. Rather, it is the technique, because the picture is a reverse glass painting. Reverse paintings on glass were usually done in black. But here the battle is depicted in colour. -- source link
