Major General James Wolfe. Commander in Chief of His Majesty's Forces in the Expedition against Quebec.
H. Smith Esq.r pinx.t C. Spooner fecit.
Printed for John Bowles at the Black House in Cornhill London [n.d, c.1765).
Very rare mezzotint, plate 150 x 115mm (6 x 4½"), large margins. Some toning to the paper.
A portrait of General James Wolfe (1727 - 1759), half-length, in profile to the left against a background of clouds. He rests his left hand on his hip and his other arm extended slightly. Wearing a powdered tie-wig, a military frockcoat over a cuirass with a black stock, a ribbon tied about his left arm and his cuffs edged with gold lace. Wolfe was a British Army officer, remembered chiefly for his victory over the French at the Battle of Quebec in Canada in 1759. The son of a distinguished general, Lieutenant-General Edward Wolfe, he had received his first commission at a young age and saw extensive service in Europe where he fought during the War of the Austrian Succession. His service in Flanders and in Scotland, where he took part in the suppression of the Jacobite Rebellion, brought him to the attention of his superiors. Wolfe's part in the taking of Quebec in 1759 earned him posthumous fame and he became an icon of Britain's victory in the Seven Years War and subsequent territorial expansion.
