About this Item

This Hand-Coloured engraving shows full plate indents and printed on either Whatman or similar cartridge cream stock paper. The engraving was originally published c1833 and two versions exist, this version is the title above and the 2nd shows this same ship as the "King George IVth" so the name was changed or two versions were printed almost simultaneously? There is no publishers name and the engraver was Edward Duncan after the painting by Huggins. No marks or stains or browning a little light handling in margins and these quite wide, over 2 inches all sides Measures 18 x 25 inches (or 45 x 34 cm) approx, unframed so can be sent rolled and carefully packed. *This engraving is probably a slightly later 19th century example so dated to later than 1833. The artist died in 1845 aged 66. He visited this part of the world as a Midshipman in about 1812-14, so the details will be accurate enough no doubt. Seller Inventory # 5457
