Item Details
Description
A period mezzotint of General James Wolfe prior to the battle at Quebec (September 13, 1759) with troops assembling to scale the cliff. After J. S. C. Schaak, the original image of Wolfe with arm extended to the left was likely first engraved from an eye-witness sketch by Hervey Smythe, Wolfe’s aide du camp at Quebec, and published in 1760. This rendition was produced shortly after the original and is an unauthorized image with Wolfe pointing to the right engraved by Richard Purcell (pseudonym Corbutt) and inscribed “Corbut fecit”. See reference Lot #69A. English, circa 1765. Framed. H: 19”; W: 15”. //
