Following Burmese incursions into British held territory, Governor-General Lord Amherst declared war on Burma on February 24, 1824. An expedition of 11,000 men under command of Major-General Archibald Campbell and Captain Frederick Marryat were sent to attack Rangoon by sea. The expedition resulted in the capture of Rangoon on May 11, 1824. Among the 6,000 British and 5,000 Indian men were Lieutenant Joseph Moore and his comrade R. B. Graham, serving with the 89th Regiment. They decided to document their time by making sketches of the realities of war juxtaposed against the beautiful and exotic back drop of Burma. These sketches were later turned into a series of eighteen aquatints under the title Eighteen Views Taken at and near Rangoon.
