The plate focuses on the engagement between the Turkish & Egyptian Admirals and Vice Admiral Codrington on the Asia:
"The time chosen for this subject is about an hour after the commencement of the action, when the Egyptian Admiral opened his fire on the Asia. By this time the Turkish Admiral's ship was reduced to a mere wreck, the carnage on board was so immense from the well directed fire of the Asia, that there were no less than 650 turks killed _ the Asia lost 19 killed, and 57 wounded.
The Hind, tender to the Asia, the mast only of which is seen, unfortunately entangled her main boom in one of the stern portdsof Macharem Bey's ship. The Turks made strenuous efforts to board without success; the conduct of Lieut. Robb was perfectly heroic_ 4 killed, 8 wounded."

The Battle of Navarino.

Reinagle, George Philip. Lithograph by Hullmandel after Reinagle. The Albion. London Colnaghi & Son, Pall Mall East January 18th 1828
Black & white lithograph Plate 5 from Reinagle's "Illustrations of the Battle of Navarin." Printed on india paper, mounted, verso blank.
The view focuses on the Albion:
"The Albion, Captain Ommanney, anchored within pistol shot of the Turkish line of battle ship, and a double-banked frigate; on casting anchor, she swung aboard a large frigate of 56 guns, which she boarded and carried.The Turks ran below, and fired up the hatchways, and wounded some of the men of the feet; they afterwards set fire to the ship, and her cables were scarcely disengaged when she blew up, with great part of her crew on board.
The Albion's fire was so destructive, that in half an hour she entirely disabled the Turkish liner, whose crew cut her cables and deserted her in boats; after drifting past the Azoff, this ship ran ashore with her fore top-mast stay-sail, and was burnt and blown up on Sunday.
The two line of battle ships that had engaged the Asia and Genoa drifted past the Albion toward the close of the action, and fired occasional guns as they past_ Captain C.J. Stevens killed, with 10 men, 50 wounded" Dark impression; some spotting within image ; margins cut short [5-10mm].
