This engraving was made by Amos Doolittle from an illustration done by landscape artist, Ralph Earl. The text at the top of the engraving says, “Plate II. A View of the Town of Concord.”
The engraving includes seven labels that explain the scene.
Number 1 — “Companies of the Regulars marching into Concord.”
Number 2 — “Companies of the Regulars drawn up in order.”
Number 3 — “A Detachment destroying the Provincial Stores.”
Number 4 and 5 — “Colonel Smith and Major Pitcairn viewing the Provincials who were mustering on an East Hill in Concord.”
Number 6 — “The Townhouse.”
Number 7 — “The Meetinghouse.”
