Mode of Training Blood Hounds. Rainsford's Account of St Domingo.
[1805]
Engraving, scarce, sheet 165 x 115mm (6½ x 4½"). Trimmed.
Plate from Marcus Rainsford's 'An Historical Account of the Black Empire of Hayti' (1805). The engraving illustrated an explanation of how European armies and the colonial militia trained guard dogs. Next to the military officer is 'a figure roughly formed as a negro in wicker work, in the body of which were contained the blood and entrails of beasts'. After long exposure as a temptation, the dogs were released to tear apart the mannequin and eat the meat inside. The dogs, thus trained, were commonly deployed to chase down runaway slaves. Rainsford (c.1750-c.1805) served in the military in the West Indies. In 1799 he visited Santo Domingo and met the rebel leader Toussaint l'Ouverture, and was subsequently arrested and condemned to death as a spy before he was reprieved and set free. Rainsford subsequently wrote accounts of his adventures and observations in the Caribbean.

A View of Pigeon Island & part of St. Lucia, Taken March 25th 1780, at Eleven oClock AM.
Drawn from Nature by Lieut. Chas. Forrest late of the 90 Reg.t. Engraved by Fran.s Chesham.
Published as the Act directs March 10 1784, by W. Faden Corner of St Martin's Lane, Charing Cross.
Scarce aquatint with etching printed in sepia, fine 18th century watermark. 300 x 510mm (11¾ x 20"), large margins.
A view of British warships at St. Lucia, with a flag on Signal Hill on Pigeon Island (now joined to mainland by a causeway). Admiral Rodney made Pigeon Island his base, building Fort Rodney, because he could see the French navy on Martinique from Signal Hill. A month after Forrest drew this view Rodney fought the Battle of Martinique (17the April 1780). From the rare series 'Twelve Views of the Island of Saint Lucia' by Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Ramus Forrest (1750 - 1827). He was a British military officer who served in India, the West Indies, and on the staff of the Earl of Dalhousie, Governor in Chief of Canada, from 1821 to 1823. Although an accomplished amateur artist, Forrest's professional performance did not live up to Dalhousie's expectations and he was dismissed. He returned to England in 1823. His best known work is probably 'A Picturesque Tour along the Rivers Ganges and Jumna', 1824.
