Below  you will see photos showing the step by step creation of this historic  painting from sketch to framed completion. The last 2 photos are of F.  B. Carpenter's original painting and an engraving by H. A. Ritchie after  F. B. Carpenter's painting. These were used as reference material to  complete L. Era's painting.
