Marked "Plate 5." Depicts an army crossing two pontoon bridges over a river and closing up into column on a hill. The advance is pushing through the woods, which have caught fire. Actual size of the image without the margins is 27.7 x 40.4 cm. Outline from matting is faintly visible. Slight damage at bottom margin, probably from when the image was removed from the binding. Titles taken from the table of contents.
