[James FitzJames, Duke of Berwick] Bataille d'Almanza.
Sergent del. Morret Sculp.t.

Rare aquatint with fine printed colour, in engraved text. 245 x 165mm (9½ x 6½"), large margins. Split in bottom platemark taped.
A scene of the Duke of Berwick accepting the surrender of the Austrian-English-Dutch army after the Battle of Almansa, 25 April 1707, during the War of the Spanish Succession. James FitzJames (1670-1734) was the illegitimate son of James II by Arabella Churchill, born and raised in France. In 1687 his father made him Duke of Berwick and Governor of Portsmouth, although the Glorious Revolution prevented him taking up the post, joining his father in exile. After the Battle of the Boyne he joined the French army and showed similar abilities to his uncle, the Duke of Marlborough. His victory at Almansa was described by Frederick the Great as the most impressive battle of the century. Berwick was decapitated by a cannonball at the Siege of Philippsburg in 1734. From 'Portraits des grands hommes, femmes illustres et sujets mémorables de France', a series of colour prints published 1786-1792.
