Effigies R. P. Lanceloti Andrewes Episcopi Wintoniensis. See heer a Shadow from that setting Sunne,/ Whose glorious course through this Horizon runn/ Left the dimm face of our dull Hemisphere,/ All one great Eye all drown'd in one great Teare./ Whose rare industrious Soule led his free thought/ Through Learning's Universe, and (vainly) soughy/ Room for her spacious Self; untill at length/ She found y.e way home: with an holy strength/ Snatch't herself hence to Heav'n; fill'd a bright place/ 'Midst those immortal Fires, and on the face/ Of her Great Maker, fixt a flaming eye,/ Where still she reads true, pure Divinitie./ And now y.t grave Aspect hath deign'd to shrink/ Into this lesse appearance. If you think/ 'Tis but a dead face, Art doth heer bequeath/ Look at the following leaves & see him breath.

[Commander James Hawker.]
[n.d., c.1770.]
An extemely rare mezzotint, an early working proof. Sheet 325 x 210mm (12¼ x 8¼") Trimmed into image on right.
A fine proof portrait of a British naval commander stationed in North America in the build up to the American War of Independence. Captain James Hawker (1730-86) commanded the 'Sardoine' sloop, patrolling the Eastern Seaboard to prevent smuggling. On several occasions he needed his contingent of marines to protect his ship from the colonists. On 30 January 1766, at the height of the Stamp Act crisis, he had the chief magistrate of Wilmington, Delaware, warn a mob that anyone approaching his ship would be fired on by the marines. In Charleston the following year, a party from 'Sardoine' boarded a suspected smuggling schooner and the populace threatened to use the batteries of Fort Johnson against the 'Sardoine'. Hawker captained the frigate 'Mermaid' in the War of Independence before retiring in 1781. One of his three sons, Edward, became an admiral; three of his five daughters married admirals.
