Debarquement des Troupes engloises a nouvelle Yorck. = Die Anländung der Englischen Trouppen zu neu Yorck. / Gravé par Francois Xav. Habermann.

Notes:

View of British troops disembarking at New York Harbor. Two British ships of the line are anchored in the harbor while rowboats filled with supplies and soldiers make their way towards the shore. British soldiers gathered on the waterfront can be seen getting into formation.; Part of a series of imagined views of North American cities titled 'Collection des Prospects' by Franz Xaver Habermann (1721-1796) and Balthasar Friedrich Leizelt (1755-1812) that were issued in Augsburg, Germany around the time of the American Revolution.; This is a fictitious representation of New York that likely borrowed features from several unidentified views of major European cities.; "Debarquement des Troupes engloises a nouvelle Yorck." appears written in reverse along the upper margin.
