Hand-colored aquatint of a large tree overlooking the sea with the names of British naval commanders, battles, and battle dates inscribed on the tree bark starting with a plaque of the Spanish Armada in 1588 located at the base of the trunk. The names of the leaders of major British victories are printed in larger, bold Gothic script. Horatio Nelson takes up a particularly large delineated section on one of the upper branches. In the background, a ship of war sails along the shore and a castle is on top of a hill in the background on the left.
