Scarce aquatint with etching. Sheet 440 x 550mm (17¼ x 21¾"). Trimmed to plate, repaired tears, surface cracking, laid on archival paper. Damaged.
A scene on a snowy shoreline, with a longboat about to leave to find help, leaving other survivors of a shipwreck behind. It illustrates the aftermath of a shipwreck on Cape Breton in 1780, as recorded by Samuel Weller Prenties, an ensign of the 84th Regiment of Foot (Royal Highland Emigrants). He had been sent on a voyage between Quebec and New York, taking dispatches from Sir Frederick Haldimand, Governor of Quebec, and Sir Henry Clinton, Commander-in-Chief in North America during the American Revolution. Castaway on a remote coast of Cape Breton, the decision was made for Prenties and five sailors to go for help. After exhausting their supplies and being on the point of death, they were saved by tribesmen who they sent to look for their colleagues. Three of the nine left behind had survived, having resorted to cannibalism. Eventually the survivors reached Halifax and headed for home.

Engraving. 180 x 115mm (7 x 4½"). Binding damage in right margin.
William Page (1730-58), highwayman. Using his own map of the roads 20 miles around London, he would drive his carriage out, change his clothes for the robbery, then return to London as an image of respectability. After this robbery he returned to find his phæton and clothes had been stolen. Following the thieves to an inn, he threw his highwayman's clothes down a well, then burst in to accuse them of robbing him, although he did not press charges. Because of his use of disguises he was acquitted several times because witnesses could not recognise him. However he was eventually convicted at Rochester, for robbing Captain Farrington on Blackheath; the magistrate who sentenced him to death was Henry Fielding, the novelist. An illustration from 'The Newgate Calendar'.
