Captain Christopher Carleill Esquire.
Robert Boissard Sc.
[n.d., c.1600.]
Very scarce engraving, sheet 375 x 295mm (14¾ x 11½"). Trimmed within plate and tipped into album sheet at edges.
Half-length portrait of Christopher Carleill (c. 1551-93), English military and naval commander, step-son of Elizabeth I's spymaster Francis Walsingham. This print celebrates his command of English troops helping defend Steenwijk against the Spanish (1580-1). In 1582 he commanded a convoy of English merchants to Russia when that country was at war with Denmark. In 1584 he was given command of the garrison of Coleraine, County Antrim, but was recalled the following year. In 1585 he was lieutenant-general of the land forces that accompanied Francis Drake on his expedition against Santo Domingo: the expedition plundered Santiago in the Cape Verde Islands, seized Santo Domingo, Cartagena de Indias and St. Augustine. On the return voyage they visited Sir Walter Raleigh's colony at Roanoke, Virginia. In 1588 he was appointed constable of Carrickfergus, County Antrim, then governor of Ulster. The portrait is from a set of English admirals all engraved by Boissard.

[A Youth rescued from A Shark. This representation is founded on the following Fact: a Youth bathing in the Harbour of the Havannah, was twice seized by a Shark, from which, (though with the Loss of the Flesh & Foot, torn from the Right Leg,) He disentangled himself, & was by the assistance of a Boat's crew, sav'd from the Jaws of the voracious Animal: for in the Moment it was attempting to seize it's Prey, (a Third Time,) a Sailor with a Boat Hook, drow it from it's pursuit.]

[n.d., c.1779.]
Mezzotint with etching, proof before letters. 370 x 425mm (14½ x 16¾"). A very fine impression on 18th century watermarked paper. Narrow margins top and bottom. Long crease from top middle diagonally down towards the left. Laid on album paper.
A reversed copy of Copley's painting, 'Watson and the Shark' as engraved by Valentine Green and published in 1779, with the added vignette of Neptune riding a seahorse and the title repeated in French. The scene depicts the shark attack on Sir Brook Watson, 1st Baronet (1735-1807) as a boy that resulted in the loss of his right leg below the knee. This happened when he was swimming alone in Havana harbour, Cuba, in 1749. Watson was a British merchant, soldier, and later Lord Mayor of London. Watson and the artist John Singleton Copley met in 1774: some say they travelled on the same ship from Boston to England, and some that they met in London. Whatever the circumstances of their meeting, Watson commissioned Copley to produce the work, known as Watson and the Shark which was completed in 1778. The painting was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1778 and caused a sensation. Upon Watson wife's death the painting was bequeathed to Christ's hospital which was accepted in 1819, however was purchased by the National Gallery of Art Washington, D.C in 1963.
