Antique Tunis City View and Battle Scene Ceramic Photo Tile — Antique Battle Print Wall Tile

his is a hand-colored early modern bird’s-eye view of Tunis, labeled at the top “TVNES VRBS”—“the city of Tunis.”

The fortified city stretches across the upper background, while the large shallow lagoon dominates the center. A narrow channel connects the lagoon to the sea in the foreground, where numerous galleys, sailing ships, and smaller boats crowd the harbor.

Several fortified positions appear around the water, including a prominent star-shaped fort and the walled harbor stronghold of La Goulette. Large military camps fill both sides of the scene, with rows of tents, organized infantry formations, artillery positions, cavalry, and troops moving along roads and shorelines. Red and blue coloring distinguishes opposing forces.

A decorative compass rose sits in the lagoon, and two Latin text panels at the bottom provide historical commentary. The scene appears to commemorate one of the 16th-century conflicts over Tunis between Christian European forces and the Ottoman Empire, combining mapmaking with a detailed visual record of siege warfare.
