Battle of the Saintes (France and Britain), 1782
the British won
considered the greatest naval battle ever fought in the Caribbean. the colour of the sky may in part be due to cannon and musket fire?
although it has nothing to do with the sky, if interested, this is an account of the day
A sad event, but the stamp is magnificent. I guess there is smoke on the sky, too.
ReplyDeleteI went for starry skies.
well..the sky is showing in this beautiful stamp, so it applies :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's a very pretty sky. Even if some is smoke. My skies look pretty at sunset when there are wildfires, so... :)

Oh wow, a battle stamp! The smoke and gunpowder from the cannons and muskets could definitely have contributed to the dramatic sky. It's a great detail actually and it adds to the overall "atmosphere".
