Fort St Mary, The Officers beating a Retreat in Order to Suppress the Outrages Committed by the Soldiers and Sailors.
Hulett Sculp.
Engraving, sheet 250 x 170mm (9¾ x 6¾"). Laid in album sheet.
Representation of the allied occupation of Port St Mary, which preceded the battle of Cadiz in 1702 during the War of the Spanish Succession. After the allies landed, they marched on Rota and then entered the town of Port St Mary, and looted the town's unguarded warehouses, convents and churches (as shown here). This conduct both caused Prince George to send home a report despairing of the behaviour, and ended any chance of the local population supporting the allies. The advance lost momentum thereafter, and the allies' attempt to capture Cadiz ended in abject failure. Plate to a volume on events during the reign of Queen Anne.
[Ref: 43432] £160.00 (£192.00 incl.VAT)
