Beschreibung

Beautiful highly hand-coloured aquatint engraving after William Heath and engraved by Thomas Sutherland, showing the defense of the breached walls by British troops under Sir Sydney Smith and Hassan Bey's troops under the generalship of Ghezzar Pasha. With a page of letterpress of the scene and a letter sent by Smith to Lord Nelson on May 9th 1799. Some handling marks on the printed leaf, some very light age browning to white margins of the print and the odd light surface scuff, just seen when looking closely. Measures approx 10.6 x 14 inches (26 x 34 cm) *sir Sydney Smith is a man who's brilliance was always overshadowed by Nelson, (the favourite of the admiralty in London with the better allies there), helped defeat Napoleon here. And the siege lasting about 2 weeks with intense fighting daily was a bloody affair. Napoleon said of Smith "That man made me miss my destiny". Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers 8348

Anbieterinformationen

We are a small, single-owner business. We have been operating on and off since 1977 and our stock is varied, leaning towards antiquarian and 19th century with the addition of original aquatint and lithographic, or woodcut engravings. Also maps and Ephemera - in fact, anything interesting on paper really. We have in stock every item we list. We do not use stock photographs, but photograph each item individually. We very rarely use "fine" or "mint" as a description, mainly due to the age and the fact that 99.9% of what we sell has been pre-owned and therefor Fine would not be a term for a book we sell despite its fine-like appearance. We always take items back unreservedly if not in the condition as described. We always try to describe fully.
