  • Full Title: The Monmouth of 64 Guns taking the Foudroyant a French Man of War of 84 guns, on the 28 of Feby. 1758 in the Mediterranean. In this action the English had 30 kill'd (including the gallant commander) & 80 wounded, the French 50 kill'd & 150 wounded. NB The Monmouth carries 12 & 24 Pounders, the Foudroyant 24 and 42

    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.
