On the 1st October 1806 the British Leeward island packet ‘Windsor Castle’ was sailing to Barbados when it was attacked by a French privateer, the ‘Jeune-Richard’. Despite being out-manned and outgunned the English fought off the French boarding party with pikes then followed the retreating pirates back onto their schooner, capturing it. Despite killing over twenty of the Frenchmen the English were still outnumbered by their prisoners, but the ‘Windsor Castle’ managed to reach Barbados safely.

Etching and aquatint. Sheet 205 x 280mm (8 x 11"). Trimmed inside platemark.
View at Windsor castle by Paul Sandby. Oppé identifies the print as one of a group which he describes as 'outline etchings of approximately the same size which formed part of a small Windsor set of 1780, some from drawings of 1769.' This is a later restrike, with aquatint added, published by Thomas Palser in 1812. The publication of many of Sandby's etchings is obscured by the fact that many were not published or only issued privately, and that many plates were acquired by commercial publishers such as Sayer and Boydell and issued as single plates or in groups. There is an almost identical drawing at Windsor (no. 14536; Oppé 14) while Robertson refers to another related drawing at the Yale Centre for British Art (B1975.4.1846), dated 1767.

Frederick and Augusta, Prince and Princess of Wales, descending from a carriage at the shore of Virginia Water, where the Royal Barge waits. They are being guided by his brother, William, Duke of Cumberland, who was Ranger of the Park. From the folio 'Eight Views of Windsor Great Park' by Thomas Sandby (1723-98), engraved by his younger brother Paul (1731-1809). Thomas Sandby had been private secretary and draughtsman to Cimberland since 1743, and when Cumberland was made Ranger Thomas was made his deputy and invited Paul to live with him. While Thomas laid out improvements to the Park, including the creation of Virginia Water from a stream, he drew these eight scenes which Paul then engraved. In this case examination of the preparatory drawing (now in the British Museum) has led experts to believe Paul drew the figures. The series was reissued by Boydell in 1772 with his address added.

Fredc. Albert Winsor, Originator of Public Gas lighting. Founder of the first established Gas Light Companies in England and in France._Died at Paris 11th May 1830 Ages 68.
[n.d., c.1840.]
Lithograph, sheet size 250 x 215mm. Sheet trimmed close to image. Foxed.
Frederick Albert Winsor (Inventor. 1763-1830). On trips to France and England, Winsor searched for inventions in need of financing and development and, on one occasion, found gas lighting. After trying without success to buy the technology for Philippe Lebon's thermolamp, Winsor built his own gaslight and demonstrated it at London's Lyceum Theatre in 1804. Winsor's chemist did much of the initial work, which was done in competition with William Murdock and his employers, Matthew Boulton and James Watt. Winsor realized it would be more efficient and profitable to make gas in large amounts, distribute it through underground pipes to several places, and sell the leftover solid 'coke' as a low-quality fuel. Such an undertaking would require more money than any single person could provide, so Winsor mounted an advertising campaign that challenged anyone to join him in this bold venture. Although many people made fun of his approach, Winsor won the support of an influential committee in the English government, and in 1807 Winsor and his partners illuminated a garden wall for the king's birthday. They went on to stage the first gas streetlighting display in London. Parliament finally granted Winsor a charter for the first gas company, National Heat and Light, which was founded in 1812. Ironically, Winsor was ousted from the company's management later that year, and its name was changed to the Gas Light and Coke Company, better known today as British Gas.
