"Battle of New Orleans, 8th January 1815" is a historical illustration from "Gleason's Pictorial Drawing-Room Companion," a 19th-century illustrated periodical published in 1854. The artwork, created by Thomas Light Merritt, depicts the final major battle of the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain. The Battle of New Orleans was a significant American victory, famously led by General Andrew Jackson, and took place after the Treaty of Ghent had been signed, effectively ending the war, although news of the treaty had not yet reached the combatants.

Merritt's illustration captures the intensity and chaos of the battle, showcasing American forces, including a diverse mix of militia fighters, volunteers, freedmen, and pirates, defending against the British assault. The image serves not only as a historical representation but also as a piece of patriotic art, emphasizing the valor and resilience of the American troops in the face of a well-trained British army.

Published nearly four decades after the actual event, the illustration reflects the mid-19th-century American perspective on the war and the battle, which had by then become legendary in the nation's history. "Gleason's Pictorial" was known for its engravings and visual content, aiming to bring news and historical events to life for its readers through vivid imagery. Thomas Light Merritt's work in this publication contributed to the visual culture of the era, providing a graphic interpretation that helped shape public memory of the Battle of New Orleans and the War of 1812.
