John Paul Jones defeats the British at sea

Item Details

Description

Heading: (Maritime)
Author: Paton, Richard
Title: The memorable engagement of Captn. Pearson of the Serapis, with Paul Jones of the Bon Homme Richard & his squadron, Sep. 23, 1779
Place Published: London
Publisher:John Boydell
Date Published: 1781
Description:

Copper engraving, hand-colored. 44.2x57.5 cm (17½x22¾").

Vivid engraving of one of the most renowned naval battles of the American Revolution, when the American John Paul Jones, attacking British shipping from a base in France, declared famously when asked to surrender, "I have not yet begun to fight." After a bloody battle and despite the fact that his ship was sinking (later Jones moved his command to the Serapis), Jones outlasted his adversary and forced a surrender.

Condition

Glued to later paper backing, causing wrinkles, some minor soiling and other wear, tape remnants on verso from earlier mounting; good overall.
