Illustrated by Joseph Boggs Beale, this artwork vividly portrays the early morning mayhem as men, women, and even a goat scramble to escape the impending danger. Thick smoke billows from the buildings engulfed in flames while people run frantically through streets filled with panic and fear. The illustration serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences brought upon by war. It showcases not only physical destruction but also captures the emotional turmoil experienced by those forced to abandon their homes and belongings.
