Publish'd as the Act directs Feby. 15 1783 by T. Miller No.72 Long Acre.

This building formed the core of today's Buckingham Palace, a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 and acquired by George III in 1761as a private residence. It was known as "The Queen's House". It was enlarged over the next 75 years, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, forming three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace finally became the official royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. James Miller (fl.1773 - 1814). The plate was reissued by Thomas Simpson in 1796.

[n.d. c.1780.]
Engraving. Plate 114 x 76mm. 4½ x 3".

The importance of the conquest and his death, in the hour of victory, made Wolfe the eighteenth-century's most moving hero, and named Conqueror of Quebec.
