介绍（中）	1861年4月，美国内战开始时，亚伯拉罕·林肯总统宣布封锁南部港口；获得密西西比河的控制权和有利于南部各州的邦联贸易是联邦的主要目标。这本印刷品记录了1862年4月发生的一场决定性的北方进攻，即杰克逊和圣菲利普堡垒之战；这两座位于战略要地的堡垒守卫着密西西比河口。六天的迫击炮轰炸，随后是激烈的海战，迫使受损的杰克逊堡和圣菲利普堡投降。联邦旗官大卫·法拉古特随后率领舰队向上游进发，攻占了南部联盟最大的城市和主要港口新奥尔良；艾夫斯制作了这幅引人注目的石版画，用多块石头打印出了一幅引人注目的多色全景图，画中充满了正在战斗和激烈爆炸的船只。下面的文字确定了这些船只和堡垒，也传达了目击者所看到的："这次夜间袭击的景象非常壮观，河流被装满松结的燃烧的木筏照亮，船只似乎在火焰和烟雾中战斗。" Nathaniel Currier于1835年在纽约成立了一家成功的光刻公司，制作了数千幅不同尺寸的手绘版画，共同描绘了19世纪中后期美国生活及其历史的生动全景。1857年，柯里尔任命会计师詹姆斯·梅里特·艾夫斯（他哥哥查尔斯的妹夫）为商业伙伴；该公司随后更名为Currier&；艾夫斯。人们急切地收购了Currier&；艾夫斯的石版画，比如那些以风景、乡村和城市景观、狩猎和捕鱼场景、家庭生活和许多其他主题为特色的石版画中，是装饰他们家或商业机构的一种廉价方式。
介绍（英）	In April 1861, at the start of the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln declared a blockade of Southern ports; gaining control of the Mississippi River and Confederate trade benefiting Southern states were key Union goals. This print records a decisive Northern assault, known as the Battle of Forts Jackson and St. Philip, which took place in April 1862; these two strategically located forts guarded the mouth of the Mississippi. Six days of mortar bombardment, followed by fierce naval combat, forced the damaged Forts Jackson and Saint Philip to surrender. Union Flag Officer David Farragut then advanced his fleet upriver to capture New Orleans, the Confederacy’s largest city and chief port. Several months later the New York firm of Currier & Ives produced this dramatic lithograph, using multiple stones to print a striking multicolor panorama filled with ships engaged in battle and fiery explosions. The text below identifies the ships and forts and also conveys what witnesses saw: "The sight of this night attack was awfully grand, the river lit up with blazing rafts filled with pine knots and the ships seemed to be fighting literally amidst the flames and smoke." Nathaniel Currier, who established a successful New York-based lithography firm in 1835, produced thousands of hand-colored prints in various sizes that together create a vivid panorama of mid-to-late nineteenth century American life and its history. In 1857, Currier made accountant James Merritt Ives (his brother Charles's brother-in-law) a business partner; the firm was then renamed Currier & Ives. People eagerly acquired Currier & Ives lithographs, such as those featuring landscapes, rural and city views, hunting and fishing scenes, domestic life and numerous other subjects, as an inexpensive way to decorate their homes or business establishments.
