[Belgium: Nicolas Rockox]
[Andrew Geddes after Rubens]
Etching, platemark 230 x 170mm (9 x 6¾").
Nicolas Rockox (1560-1640), Burgomaster of Antwerp and patron of Rubens. He is remembered by the Museum Rockoxhuis in his former residence in the city. Copy after Rubens by the Scottish painter and etcher Andrew Geddes (1783-1844). The Oxford DNB states that 'as an etcher Geddes ranks higher than as a painter; his plates may be regarded as among the very earliest examples in modern British art of the brilliancy, concentration, and spirited selection of line proper to a ‘painter's-etching''. This plate is one of ten he published in 1826.

A scene of a river in Belize, a Carribean country in central America. Formally know as British Honduras, a British flag on a pole can be seen waving gently in the foreground, surrounded by a handful of soliders carrying weapons, one seems to be reprimanding a boy holding a dead bird, one of them casually leans on one of the two cannons located on the shoreline and the others stand guard. A man sits in his boat on the shore while another picks up a paddle seemingly about to set off. Two rafts are pushed around the water by men with poles, while a longer boat with four oarsmen glides across the water and a sailing ship with no sails appears to be moored on the right. The surrounding town and more boats can be seen in the distance.

Serres Pinx. Canot Sculp.
Drawn on ye spot, Design'd, & Published as the Act directs by R. Short, May 1st 1763. [& Sept 12th].
Three (of seven) engravings, rare as a set. 370 x 520mm (13¾ x 20½) with very large margins. Small repairs and creases.
Three engravings celebrating the capture of the French island of Belle Île (off the Brittany coast) in 1761, during the Seven Years' War. As the Royal Navy began to dominate the seas Britain started to pick off France's colonies, including Canada, before lauching this attack on a part of France itself. Initially repelled, the attack was continued with reinforcements and the island was eventually captured. Unable to counter-attack, the French told the British they could keep it if they wanted, but they found that a British base so close to the French mainland was a real problem so, in the Treaty of Paris that ended the war, Belle Île was swapped for Minorca, which France had captured earlier in the war.
