Stipple. 145 x 89mm (5¾ x 3½"). Narrow margins.
Alexis-Hubert Jaillot (1632-1712) the French geographer, printer and cartographer in Paris, in the service of King Louis XIV.

However, falling out with Sanson's heirs, he helped Pierre Mortier publish a pirate edition in Amsterdam. The portrait was published in 'Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden' (Universal Geographical Ephemerides (i.e. encyclopedia)) by Friedrich Bertuch et al.

Plate 2 of six views of Jamaica by George Robertson, of which three were his patron William Beckford's sugar plantations in Jamaica. The illegitimate nephew of Alderman Beckford, William inherited four such estates but squandered his wealth (for example employing Mozart as his son's piano teacher) and lost his holdings. He returned to London in 1776 and seems to have sold the paintings to Boydell for publishing. The John Carter Brown Library's exhibition, 'Aestheticizing the Landscape of Sugar', describes the engravings as 'the most aesthetically ambitious views of Jamaica published in the eighteenth century'.

Trelawney Town, the Chief Residence of the Maroons.
[Bryan Edwards; 1801.]
Rare engraving. Plate 297 x 255mm. 11¾ x 10".
The Maroons formed two distinct communities in the mountains of central Jamaica, known as ‘cockpit country’. They were composed of runaway slaves and their descendents. The word ‘maroon’ derives from the Spanish ‘cìmarron’ meaning ‘wild’, and maroon communities frequently settled in areas across the Caribbean that were outside the control of European colonial powers. They had a troubled relationship with British authorities. 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. From "The History, Civil and Commercial, of the British Colonies in the West Indies".
