A print of the City of Monterey showing the fort known as "the Citadel" in the center with mountains in the background. At right are the smaller hills Confederation and Independence, on which are situated the "Bishop's Palace" and other forts; on the left, the forts defending the town.

The print depicts the American encampment in the foreground, the citadel in the center as well as the surrounding forts have American flags raised, and the city of Monterey is laid out in the background with large mountains beyond.[This print is from the book "Our Army at Monterey" by Thomas Bangs Thorpe, following page 70].
