An Exact View of the Late Battle at Charlestown, June 17th 1775 This engraving was for sale within weeks of the battle of Bunker Hill. British and American soldiers in fixed formation fire muskets at one another, while Charlestown is in flames in the background. The Americans, to the left, are dug in along the crest of the hill; British casualties have begun to mount. Who would buy this picture?
