'Looking up Niagara River from near Fort George' [Ontario, Canada]

Mounted with ZBA4891 and ZBA4892 on page 21 of Fanshawe's West Indies, North American and Borneo scrapbook (ZBA4855).

Lithograph depicting a view looking up the Niagara River from near Fort George, with a brig on the left and a tall monument in the right distance which may that to Major-General Isaac Brock, a Canadian hero of the War of 1812, who was killed where it stands at the Battle of Queenstown Heights. The Fort, now a Canadian National Historic Site, is at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada. It was the scene of several battles during the Anglo-American War of 1812 and, today, there is such a monument in the area to action there. See summary of Fanshawe's known American movements with ZBA4856: he took his flagship 'Royal Alfred' to Quebec one summer while C-in-C North America and West Indies, and toured the area (including a visit to Niagara Falls), but the exact date remains to be clarified.
