| Content and context |
285 x 230 mm. Inside the hollow square, the natives sit on the ground in front of the officer party who are in the process of raising their hats, while a party of marines have their rifles raised, preparatory to firing the feu-de-joie as the white ensign is raised. Officers are hard to identify due to blurring of the image through movement, but Commodore Erskine is probably 2nd from the left among the blue-coated officers. The officer standing directly by the flagstaff, with back to camera, is probably Commander W.H. Henderson, commanding the men of H.M.S. 'Nelson'. |
