"Reissue of a print published by Humphrey, 25 June 1819. An enormously tall pole projects from a rocky mound seen against a background of sea and icebergs. A sailor with a Union flag has climbed nearly to the top; at the base is a little group of sailors, waving their hats, who have just scaled the mound. One, a stout officer, is Ross; climbing up the rock is a black servant. See No. 13194, &c."--British Museum online catalogue
