The image showcases the impressive military fortifications of Fort Mex located in the south-east corner of Alexandria. The intricate details of this print allow us to explore every aspect of this fortified structure. From the imposing ramparts to the strategically positioned HM Gunboat Condor, it is evident that this fort was built with great precision and strength. Intriguingly, we can observe officers quarters within the fort, suggesting a sense of life amidst conflict.
