Item description from seller

Hand-coloured lithograph mounted in conservation materials suitable for framing, overall size 22 x 15.5 inches approx. Printed surface within inner margin, 13 x 10 inches. Dramatic view of a two-masted sailing ship wrecked off Sandgate Castle. There is a rescue boat alongside the wreck and rescuers on the shore heave on a line to the beach. In the foreground are rocks and the ship's rudder, which has carried away. This plate was originally issued as part of Hullmandel and Harding's Britannia Delineata: Comprising Views of the Antiquities, Remarkable Buildings Buildings, and Picturesque Scenery of Great Britain. Kent (1822). It was the first of a series proposed to illustrate every county but, because of its high cost, it was a publishing failure and only Kent was ever issued. KENT VIEWS KENT.
