Capit.n Heinrich Wilson.
E. Henne sculps. [after John Russell.]
[n.d., c.1790.]
Stipple. 165 x 120mm (6½ x 4¾"), large margins.
In 1783 the British East India Company ship 'Antelope', commanded by Wilson, ran aground near Koror in the Palau Islands. Despite the islands already being claimed by Spain, this was the first sustained contact with the local people. This portrait, after John Russell, was first published as the frontispiece to George Keate's 'An Account of the Pelew Islands ... composed from the Journals and Communications of Captain H. Wilson', 1788; this version appeared in a German edition of that work.
