Description
This hand-coloured engraving was trimmed to the edges 290mm x 458mm ( 11 3/8" x 17 9/16") and mounted to a dark card stock. The English only title was mounted on the reverse on the reverse of the dark mounted card. The trimmed mounted engraving has wear to the corners causing some minor rounding. There is surface dirt, soiling and spotting on the engraving more so on the sky area.
"This is one of the most heroic single ship actions in British naval history, and can be regarded as a direct consequence of the execution of Admiral John Byng. Captain Gardiner had perhaps an especially compelling reason for his do-and-die endeavour. His death and the spectacular defeat of the Foudroyant struck deeply into the heart of the English people of the time, and Swaine's painting was repeatedly engraved" quoted from National Maritime museum web site.
