The engraving, created by John Gilbert in 1881 for The Illustrated London News, transports us to the coastal region of Tunisia during the 16th century. In this meticulously detailed artwork, we witness the formidable Fort of Tabarka standing proudly on an island off the mainland.

The topography surrounding it showcases the rugged beauty of Tabarka's coastline, with its cliffs meeting the azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
