About the Item
Thomas Sutherland (1785-1838) after Thomas Whitcombe (1760-1824)
'Capture of the La Vengeance, Aug 21st, 1800'
Colour aquatint engraving from 'The Naval Achievements of Great Britain' by James Jenkins. 1816.
Seine was a 38-gun Seine-class French frigate that the Royal Navy captured in 1798 and commissioned as the fifth rate HMS Seine. On 20 August 1800, Seine attacked the French ship, Vengeance, which had just finished refitting at Curaçao, and captured her. Both ships sustained heavy casualties; 13 crew were killed aboard the Seine, 29 were wounded, and the ship was cut up. However, Vengeance sustained worse: almost cut to pieces, many considered her beyond repair. Nevertheless Vengeance was repaired in Jamaica and taken into British service under her existing name.
The Naval Achievements of Great Britain by James Jenkins is considered to be the finest series of engravings on naval sea battles. They depict the naval events of the Napoleonic Wars featuring man-of-war ships. The National Maritime Museum in Greenwich stated ‘as a record of events spannig a period of over twenty years….has no precedent.’ In addition, ‘it is the accuracy (of the pictures) which make Jenkins so valuable’.
The maritime artist Thomas Whitcombe painted the watercolours of the famous sea fights on which the engravings are based. The engravings have original water-colouring and were mostly engraved by Thomas Sutherland. The series was completed in 1817 and the watermark of the plates is usually 1816 or earlier. There are 150 original subscribers listed.
