The Battle of the Boyne, July 1st 1690. From the Original in the Collection of the Earl of Leicester.
Wyke Pinx.t. [Engraved by John Brooks.]
Sold by Tho.s Jefferys at Charing Cross, & W. Herbert on London Bridge [n.d., c.1750].
A large and rare mezzotint. 460 x 710mm (18 x 28"), with 18th century watermark. Trimmed close to plate, repair with loss of background image top right, long tear and cracks to three binding folds repaired.
A large battle scene, centred on William III on his white horse, surrounded by his officers, named in a key bottom left, with Frederick Herman de Schomberg, who was killed in the battle, prominent on the right. The main sites of the battle are listed in a key bottom right. Originally Chaloner Smith listed this state as Engraver Not Ascertained; however his addenda describes a single example of a state with letters but no key (suggesting a separate key plate) with 'I Brooks fecit'. According to the British Museum, John Brooks learned mezzotint from John Faber and set himself up publishing mezzotints in his native Dublin. He moved to London in 1746 with his apprentices James McArdelll and Richard Houston.
