Judging by the flag and the name of the ship, I can see the one falling is American. Who brought them down though? The flag looks South American, and I'm not sure where to place the hats.

Also, are the hot air balloons in the shot the airship equivalent of life-boats?

Wonderful piece, as always.

Another great illustration! It looks great, and I absolutely dig the fine, scratchy style! There is clearly a lot of effort put into this, and even though there are a few things here and there that look "wrong" (like some of the perspectives), the picture would be lesser if it were done the "right" way.

I really love this. If someone told me this was from an old book I would believe it!
