A view of the bay of St. Julian when Mount Wood bears W.S.W. ½ S. and the Port or rivers mouth S.W. distant ten miles.
[London: for the author by John and Paul Knapton, 1748.]
Coloured engraving. 235 x 520mm (9¼ x 20½"). Folded as issued, backed on paper.
George Anson's fleet anchored in Puerto San Julián in Argentina, while they refitted one of their ships, Tryal, and reprovisioned themsleves with salt prior to their attempt to round Cape Horn. George Anson's circumnavigation, 1740-44, was one of the last great buccaneering voyages, an official expedition to the South Seas to harass the Spanish bases but, more importantly, plunder their shipping. A main target was one of the richly-laden Manila galleons that crossed between Acapulco in Mexico and Manilla the Philippines. A stroke of luck presented them with one laden with 1.3 million silver pieces of eight; on their return to London, thirty-two wagons were needed to transfer them to the Tower of London. Published in Anson's own account, ''A Voyage Round the World, in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV''.

Coloured engraving. 230 x 520mm (9 x 20½"). Folded as issued, backed on paper.
A profile of the Lema islands of the Mariana Islands, described by Anson as 'rocky and barren'. George Anson's circumnavigation, 1740-44, was one of the last great buccaneering voyages, an official expedition to the South Seas to harass the Spanish bases but, more importantly, plunder their shipping. A main target was one of the richly-laden Manila galleons that crossed between Acapulco in Mexico and Manilla the Philippines. A stroke of luck presented them with one laden with 1.3 million silver pieces of eight; on their return to London, thirty-two wagons were needed to transfer them to the Tower of London. Published in Anson's own account, ''A Voyage Round the World, in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV''.

London, 1765.
Copper engraving, proof before title, 18th century watermark. 510 x 385mm (20 x 15¼"), with widee margins.

The painting hangs at Windsor Castle with the title Caligula depositing the ashes of his mother and brother in the tomb of his ancestors. "The Most Capital Paintings in England" series of engravings in five volumes, late 1760s-1786, the first three (1769 to 1773) originally published under the title .Sculptura Britannica. These were a critical and financial success for the publisher John Boydell who promoted the interests of both artists, engravers and Patrons establishing a tradition in Britain for collecting prints.

The west prospect of Staten Island.
[London: for the author by John and Paul Knapton, 1748.]
Coloured engraving. 230 x 460mm (9 x 18"). Folded as issued, backed on paper.
George Anson's fleet approaching Staten Island, east of Tierra del Fuego, en route to Cape Horn. George Anson's circumnavigation, 1740-44, was one of the last great buccaneering voyages, an official expedition to the South Seas to harass the Spanish bases but, more importantly, plunder their shipping. A main target was one of the richly-laden Manila galleons that crossed between Acapulco in Mexico and Manilla the Philippines. A stroke of luck presented them with one laden with 1.3 million silver pieces of eight; on their return to London, thirty-two wagons were needed to transfer them to the Tower of London. Published in Anson's own account, ''A Voyage Round the World, in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV''.

Torre de S. Roque chamada vulgarmente Torre do Patriarcha. Tour de S. Roch nommee vulgairement Tour du Patriarche.
[Engraved by by Jacques Philippe Le Bas.]
Avec privilège du Roy. [Published by Le Bas, Jacques François Blondel, and Veuve Chéreau, Paris, 1757.]
Etching, image 253 x 360mm. Trimmed within plate.
The tower of San Roque in Lisbon after its destruction in the Lisbon earthquake of 1755. The Great Lisbon Earthquake took place on November 1, 1755 at around 9:40 in the morning. The earthquake was followed by a tsunami and fire, which caused near-total destruction of the city and adjoining areas. Estimates place the death toll between 60,000 to 100,000 people, making it one of the most destructive earthquakes in history. The earthquake accentuated political tensions in Portugal and profoundly disrupted the country's eighteenth century colonial ambitions. The event was widely discussed and dwelt upon by European Enlightenment philosophers, and inspired major developments in theodicy and in the philosophy of the sublime. As the first earthquake studied scientifically for its effects over a large area, it led to the birth of modern seismology. Plate 1 from a series consisting of a titleplate and six views, 'Recueil des plus belles ruines de Lisbonne causées par le tremblement et par le feu du premier Novembre 1755'. The artists, MM. Paris and Pedegache were probably amateur local artists. The series was advertised by Le Bas in the 'Mercure de France' in March 1758 at the price of 12 livres on grand papier de chapelet, and 10 livres on grand raisin. A set of six piracies of the views was published by Robert Sayer in London (see 7971).
