Framed Battle of Mobile Bay by Louis Prang

Battle of Mobile Bay by Louis Prang captures the fury of Admiral David Farragut’s famous Union naval assault on Mobile Bay, Alabama, on August 5, 1864. Warships and ironclads maneuver through dense clouds of cannon smoke as Confederate shore batteries and vessels engage the advancing Federal fleet. In the foreground is the Confederate ironclad CSS Tennessee, while at right the Union monitor USS Tecumseh is shown sinking after striking a mine. The victory secured Mobile Bay for the Union and became one of the most celebrated naval triumphs of the Civil War. This richly detailed chromolithograph was published as part of Prang’s renowned series commemorating major Civil War battles.
