Trelawney Town, the Chief Residence of the Maroons.
Publish'd Sept. 25 1800, by John Stockdale, Piccadilly.
Engraving, platemark 200 x 260mm (8 x 10"). Fold as normal;
View in Trelawny Parish, Jamaica. The Maroons formed two distinct communities in the mountains of central Jamaica, known as ‘cockpit country’. The word ‘maroon’ derives from the Spanish ‘cìmarron’ meaning ‘wild’, and maroon communities (composed of runaway slaves and their descendants) frequently settled in areas across the Caribbean that were outside the control of European colonial powers. In 1730, in a treaty signed by the governor of Jamaica and Cudjoe, the Maroon leader, the Maroons’ land was secured in exchange for their loyalty to Britain. In the peace that followed, the Maroons were true to their word, returning runaways and helping to put down slave insurrections. Despite this, the British were always wary of the Maroons, who remained outside their control. During the revolutionary crisis of the 1790s, this fear of the Maroons resulted in Britain turning a minor confrontation into an all-out war, and many Maroons were exiled. The communities survived, however, and their descendants live in Jamaica to this day. Plate from the 1801 edition of 'The History, Civil and Commercial, of the British Colonies in the West Indies' (first edn. 1793) by the planter and politician Bryan Edwards (1743-1800). Edwards was bequeathed two estates in Trelawny parish, and led a distinguished political career in Jamaica.
For Edwards' house 'Bryan Castle' in Trelawny parish, see ref. 37208.

Published as the Act directs Nov.r 1791, by W & J. Stratford, N.º 122 Holborn Hill.

An oval scene of four men in an elegant drawing room. The National Portrait Gallery has a watercolour of this scene (NPG 6263).

Among the allied plenipotentiaries at the signing of the preliminaries were Colonel Charles Whitworth and his colleague William Fawkener, Count Goltze (Prussia) and Count Osterman (Russia), but the figures are elegant puppets and can in no way be considered as portraits.''

Here it was that Prince Edward, exacted the Oath from the Barons of the Cinque Ports.

East View of Sydney.
V. Woodthorpe sc.
Published Dec. 24. 1803, by M.Jones Paternoster Row.
Hand-coloured stipple, sheet 125 x 210mm (4¾ x 8¼"). Cut to platemark.
Early view of Sydney, from 'The History of New South Wales [...]' supposedly by the famous pickpocket George Barrington (first published 1802), although there is no evidence of his involvement with the book, and London publishers used his name without scruples. This view, as McCormick notes, is a mirror-image of an engraving published in David Collins' 'An Account of the English Colony' (London, 1798), itself after a watercolour by Edward Dayes. The source has been augmented with the addition of an Aboriginal Australian aiming a spear at a British settler, drawing parallels with violence against settlers often depicted in prints such as those documenting Cook's voyages.
