[Ireland] [Henry Johnson] Major General Johnson, Who on the ever memorable 5th of June 1798, commanded his Majesty's Troops [at the Battle of Ross. And his lov'd Country by his Valour sav'd.]
Painted by Rob.t. Woodburn. Engraved by Rob.t Dunkarton.
[Published June 4 1801, by R. Woodburn, Dublin; and Colnaghi & C.º N.º23, Cockspur Street, London.]
Scarce coloured mezzotint. Sheet 475 x 350mm (18¾ x 13¾"). Trimmed to image on three sides, into inscription area losing part of title and all of the publication line.
Three quarter length portrait of General Sir Henry Johnson (1748-1835) in uniform, standing before the town of New Ross, County Wexford. During the Irish Rebellion of 1798, Johnson was sent to occupy New Ross, which was then attacked by the Society of United Irishmen. When the attack failed, the British counterattack 'took no prisoners': one estimate puts the Irish dead at 2,800 of 3,000 attackers, against about 230 Loyalists.
CS 27. Ex: collection of The Hon. Christopher Lennox-Boyd.
