View of Halifax c1759

This view shows Halifax (left) and Dartmouth (right) from George's Island, as they looked about 1759. The town was busy with the military activity of the Seven Years' War. It would again be busy in the 1770s, when it became the northern base for the war against the revolutionaries in the Thirteen Colonies. This painting by Dominique Serres (c1763) was based on a drawing made by Richard Short in 1759.
