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.

White Hamburgh Grape: A Framed 19th C. Color Engraving by George Brookshaw
By George Brookshaw
Located in Alamo, CA
This is a 19th century colored aquatint and stipple engraving finished by hand entitled "White Hamburgh Grape", drawn and engraved by George Brookshaw and published in London in 1812 as plate 60 in his 'Pomona Britannica; or, A Collection of the Most Esteemed Fruits'. It depicts a cluster of pale green grapes still on the vine. The vine and leaves are shown in attractive shades of green and brown. The plant lays on a brown textured background with shadows to impart 3-dimensionality. The scene is reminiscent of an engraving in an 18th century artistically stylized human anatomy atlas. There is a light brown title rectangle in the lower center which is blank, suggesting this may be a more rare preproduction proof. There are wide white margins.
This striking engraving is presented in a reddish brown decorative wood frame with a darker brown scroll-work outer trim and a gold-colored inner fillet and a thick light beige mat. The frame measures 26" high, 22" wide and 1.13" deep. It is glazed with UV conservation glass. There is a tiny spot in the lower margin on the left and another in the left margin. The print and frame are otherwise in excellent condition.
There is a second Brookshaw engraving that is framed in identical moulding, although a slightly different size and a different color mat. It depicts a Silver Rock Melon. The two prints would make a striking display pairing...
