![[Siege of Fort St Philip, Minorca, January 1782.]](jpegs/40361.jpg)
[Siege of Fort St Philip, Minorca, January 1782.] Siege du Fort St Philippe Vu de la batterie de la Mola pendant la nuit du 15 au 16 Janvier 1782 [...]
Dessiné par le Paon Peintre de S.A.S. M.gr le Prince de Conde Gravé par Godefroy de l'Academie Imperiale et Royale de Vienne, & c.
A Paris chez M.r Godefroy, rue des Francs-bourgeois Porte St Michel et chez Mr. Ponce Graveur de M.g le Comte d'Artois, rue Hiacinthe A.P.D.R.
Engraving, sheet 210 x 220mm (8¼ x 8¾"). Trimmed inside platemark.
Battle scene towards the end of the siege of Fort St Philip (which dominated the great natural harbour of Mahon in Minorca), which lasted from August 1781 until February 1782, when the garrison of James Murray, ravaged by scurvy, laid down their arms. Murray's conduct during the siege (which included turning down a secret bribe of £1 million sterling to surrender from the French commander de Crillon) earned him the nickname Old Minorca from his troops. Murray was made a full general in 1783 and retired to his residence near Battle in Sussex. Engraved after a design by Jean-Baptiste Le Paon (1736/8-85).
