A young sailor watches in horror from the shore as a ship is hurled by a huge wave towards rocks on a tropical island or coastline; he is restrained by one white and two black companions. Other figures to shore; praying figure and black slave aboard the doomed ship. Charles Melchior Descourtis (1753 - 1820), engraved the set of six 'Paul et Virginie' after Jean Frédéric Schall. While this has a similar theme it isn't one from the set. This print is, however, nearly identical to 'Le Naufrage de Virginie' (Mixelle after Lambert), which we also have in stock (see our ref. 28894). While the image sizes are identical, 'Le Naufrage de Viriginie' has a border around the edge, was printed from a larger plate, and shows significant differences to the waves and clouds.

The Barge of the Adventure saving the Crew of a Bombard [ms].
M.A.J. Whitby. Newlands 1828.
Rare lithograph, printed area and text 130 x 170mm (5 x 6¾").
This print probably shows the crew of the HMS Adventure coming to the aid of shipwrecked sailors, perhaps off the coast of North Africa. The printmaker, Mary Anne Theresa Whitby (1784-1850) appears to have spent time in Italy and North Africa in the 1820s or before, and the Adventure was in Leptis Magna, near Tripoli in modern-day Libya, in 1817. Whitby was married to Captain John Whitby, flag captain for Admiral Sir William Cornwallis. They lived on the admiral's estate, Newlands: after John's death in 1806, Mary stayed on, spending much of her time with Cornwallis, who left his estate to her on his death in 1819. Being a keen amateur lithographer, Whitby established a private press at Newlands, but she is better remembered for the first successful sericulture (silk production) to England after three centuries of attempts, presenting twenty yards of damask to Queen Victoria in 1844. She performed genetic experiments on her silkworms for Charles Darwin, who published her results in his 'The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication' (1868).

London, 1801.
Etching. 305 x 445mm (12 x 17½"), with very wide margins.
Two shipwrecked mariners in a desperate state sheeking shelter on a shore. A rowing boat from a ship on the horizon looks to be approaching. In 2012 Nicholas Knowles identified the engraver of this print as Thomas Rowlandson after noting that several details, such as the dot hatching and handwriting, were typical Rowlandson features.
