About the Item

'HMS Warspite 50 Guns', English English naval aquatint, with gum arabic highlights, by Edward Duncan after Nicholas Condy. Published by Ackermann & Co. 'Warspite' was built and launched, at Chatham in 1807 as a 74-gun two-decker. After an active career, in the Napoleonic Wars and including service in the Anglo-American 'War of 1812' when she took three U.S. privateers, she was decommissioned in 1815. In 1840 her second remodeling reduced her to a one-deck, 50-gun frigate, as shown here, for service on the home station. Lord John Hay commanded her between 1841 and 1845, visiting New York in 1842 to take Lord Ashburton to negotiate the Webster-Ashburton Treaty. She remained at sea until 1862 when she was loaned to the Marine Society as a boys' training ship. Accidentally burned by fire at Woolwich in 1876, her wreck was subsequently broken up on the Thames. This is a late impression on thicker card like paper, the aquatint was originally published circa 1860, this impression is circa 1900.
