Scarce coloured mezzotint. Sheet 475 x 350mm (18¾ x 13¾"). Trimmed to image on three sides, into inscription area losing part of title and all of the publication line.
Three quarter length portrait of General Sir Henry Johnson (1748-1835) in uniform, standing before the town of New Ross, County Wexford.
