Two scenes of American interest, from Edward Barnard's history of England (1783).

André, an army officer and spy, was aide-de-camp of Henry Clinton, commander-in-chief of British forces in America from 1778. In this capacity André handled the correspondence between Clinton and various American spies, and also negotiated with General Benedict Arnold, who was planning to surrender to the British the fort at West Point, New York. André was on his way to a personal interview with Arnold when, disguised as a civilian, he was seized by American militiamen. He was brought before a military board convened by George Washington, found to have acted in the character of a spy, and sentenced to hanging. André's actions were commemorated by a monument erected in Westminster Abbey in London, where his remains were transferred in 1821.

He served under Napoleon during the French Revolutionary Wars and accelerated through the ranks until in 1800 he was made Général de Division after assisting Napoleon during the 18 Brumaire Coup. After various artillery appointments he was made Ambassador to Britain, the Austrian Empire and the Ottoman Empire until in 1809 he was created a count of the First French Empire. On the fall of Napoleon he was called back to France and held high military administrative offices after the Bourbon Restoration, being elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1827.

Stipple with large margins. Plate 152 x 89mm (6 x 3½").
Francois Andreossy (1633-1688) the French engineer and cartographer, who in 1660 went to study Italian canal technology in Lombardy and Padua. When he returned to France, he became Pierre-Paul Riquet's assistant as he was able to supply the technical expertise of canal building that Riquet lacked. He was also responsible for the levelling and the drawing of the maps. He monitored the construction and assisted Riquet until Riquet's death, after which he continued to work at the canal. Many argue that the Canal du Midi should be attributed to Andreossy and not Riquet. The portrait was published in 'Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden' (Universal Geographical Ephemerides (i.e. encyclopedia)) by Friedrich Bertuch et al.

Lancelot Andrewes (1555-1626), English bishop and scholar, who held high positions in the Church of England during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and King James I. Under King James I he served successively as Bishop of Chichester, Ely and Winchester and oversaw the translation of the Authorised Version of the Bible. This appears to be the 'very deceptive copy' mentioned by Pennington, which closely copies Wenceslaus Hollar's etching but with noticeable differences to the sitter's face and the writing of Hollar's name. Hollar's print was itself based on that by John Payne prefixed to Andrewes' 'XCVI Sermons' of 1632.
