Sir George Back (1796-1878), British naval officer and explorer of Arctic America. He twice accompanied John Franklin to Canada's Northwest Territories (1819-22 and 1825-7) and later conducted two expeditions of his own to the same region. The first of these expeditions, in 1833, was to search for another British explorer, John Ross, who had disappeared on an Arctic voyage in 1829. In 1836, promoted to Captain and given command of HMS Terror, he returned to explore the coastal region east from the mouth of the river. Having been caught in the ice and striking an iceberg he nursed the sinking 'Terror' across the Atlantic, having to beach the ship on the coast of Ireland. Ill-health forced him to retire from active service, but he advised the Admiralty during the search for Franklin, and was promoted to vice-admiral in 1863 and admiral in 1876.

Etching. Sheet 190 x 285mm (7½ x 11¼"). Trimmed within plate, affecting title.
A satire of the duel between John Wilkes and Lord William Talbot, fought on 6th October 1762 over Wilkes' mockery of Talbot in the 'North Briton'. Talbot holds a pot-lid and a spit, Wilkes a quill and and ink pot. Talbot is attended by Smollett while Wilkes is backed by Churchill. The duel was fought with pistols on Bagshot Common: despite firing at only eight yards, neither man was hit and the pair then went to a local tavern to share a bottle of claret. The lack of blood caused rumours that the duel was a stunt, inspiring satires such as this.
BM Satires 3914.

Bahir Mandia from the North Africa [sic].
[Anon., British, n.d., c.1820s.]
Pencil and watercolour drawing, ink-ruled border and title below. Image 175 x 310mm, 7 x 12¼". Signs of handling to lower margin.
An oasis fringed with green plant life, set in the expansive landscape of Africa's Sahara Desert; by a military or naval amateur draughtsman. One candidate is perhaps Frederick Fitzgerald De Roost (1804 - 1861), an officer in the Royal Navy who wrote 'Personal narrative of travels in the United States and Canada in 1826... With remarks on the present state of the American Navy', illustrated with plates after his drawings. This is a remarkably similar image to a plate appearing in 'Narrative of Travels and Discoveries in Northern and Central Africa, in the years 1822, 1823, and 1824...' by Dixon Denham and Hugh Clapperton.
