Etching and engraving, scratched letter proof before title, 510 x 690mm. 20 x 27¼". Laid on card; two vertical creases through centre.
Sheerness, beside the mouth of the River Medway on the northwest corner of the Isle of Sheppey in north Kent. Sheerness began as a fort built in the 16th century to protect the River Medway from naval invasion. In 1665, plans were first laid by the Navy Board for a Royal Navy dockyard where warships might be provisioned and repaired, a site favored by Samuel Pepys, then Clerk of the Acts of the navy, for shipbuilding over Chatham. After the raid on the Medway in 1667, the older fortification was strengthened; in 1669 the Royal Navy dockyard was established, where warships were stocked and repaired until its closure in 1960. An impressive scene after Richard Paton (1717 - 1791), painter of marine subjects. With an etched crest below image.

Engraving 495 x 660mm. Trimmed to plate, centre fold, minor nicks and scratches
Explanation and Key to plan and elevation left and right. Sheerness was the focus of an attack by the Dutch navy in June 1667, when 72 hostile ships during the Raid on the Medway compelled the little 'sandspit fort', to surrender and landed a force which for a short while occupied the town. Impressed by the civil behaviour of the Dutch marines - they paid for their dinner - the town reinvited the Dutch Marine Corps for the third centennial of the raid. Pepys at Gravesend remarked in his diary 'we do plainly at this time hear the guns play' and in fear departed to Brampton in Huntingdonshire. Sheerness was also the site of a Royal Dockyard which, although not as large as those at Chatham and Deptford was still of some importance in Tudor and Stuart England. During the Victorian age a warship was built which still exists - HMS Gannet (an 'Osprey' class Sloop) which was launched on 31 August 1878.

Sheffield was stripped of his offices by Charles II after he suggested marriage to the duke of York's daughter Anne (later queen). The accession of James II brought him back into royal favour, and he was by the king's side until he fled London in 1688. Although he soon switched allegiance to William and Mary, he joined other Tory peers in refusing to sign a 1696 agreement to support William III as their "rightful and lawful king" against Jacobite attempts, again losing his offices. He became a favourite of Queen Anne, who gave his the title Duke of Buckingham and Normanby the year after her accession.

The design is allegorical and represents vine branches encircling various animals and birds. The inscription, which is broken, runs somewhat as follows:- "He provided diligently for the building of this Church here......He who was most saintly of us and the most beloved--God George. Founded in the year 622 after......(Gaza)." Roman Gaza dates from about the year 61 B.C., so that the date os the Church would be about 561 A.D.

Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 - 1822), poet and novelist. Shelley was sent down from Oxford in 1811 for professing his atheism. Believing in individual liberty and the perfection of humanity, he was an uncompromising idealist throughout his short life. Queen Mab (1813), promoting radical social change, was Shelley's first major poem. Later forced to flee his creditors, he and his wife Mary Shelley escaped to Italy in 1818. It was there that he produced some of his best work, including Ode to the West Wind (1819) and Adonais, a pastoral elegy inspired by Keats's death in 1821. Returning from visiting Byron and Leigh Hunt in Pisa, he was drowned in a storm at sea. After the portrait in oil in the National Portrait Gallery by Amelia Curran (d.1847). It was painted in Rome by the art student. Though begged from her by Mary Shelley after her husband's death, it was not much liked by his friends.

Irish interest. By William Heath (1794/5 - 1840), ex-Captain of Dragoons, illustrator of colour-plate books, and prolific caricaturist. From 1827-9 he used the pseudonym Paul Pry (from the name of a character in a comedy of 1825 by John Poole, that became a tag used for any very inquisitive person) with the emblem of a small man holding a walking stick in a lower corner of his plates. This figure was soon copied by other caricaturists (eg Sharpshooter), and so from 1828 Heath began to sign his plates with his full name. He published regularly with Thomas McLean.

He retired at the farming estate of Leasowes and continued to write poetry in a pastoral vein.

He diverted streams to create waterfalls, and stage-managed the landscape to create views that unfolded from carefully chosen vantage points.
