An engraving of a painting by Richard Paton of the three and a half hour long naval battle of 6 October 1779 which was fought off Ushant between HMS Quebec, under the command of Captain George Farmer, and the Surveillante, under the command of Captain Couédic de Kergoaler. The Quebec caught fire and exploded, and the British crew were rescued by the French. Captain George Farmer (b.1732) died in the battle. American War of Independence (1775-83). This is an optical print, also called 'vue optique' or 'vue d'optique', which were made to be viewed through a Zograscope, or other devices of convex lens and mirrors, all of which produced an optical illusion of depth. Published circa 1780. See less
