An outstanding steel engraving by prominent British printmaker John Rogers (1808-1888)
Displays a historic scene - the death of Captain Robert Faulknor (the Younger) of the HMS Blanche off the coast of Gualdeloupe, French West Indies
For some context, here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
"On 4 January 1795, Blanche's crew discovered the 36-gun French frigate Pique off Pointe à Pitre, Guadeloupe. The French ship at first seemed to be trying to avoid an action, but the two ships eventually came to close quarters just after midnight in the early hours of 5 January, in an engagement of over 3¾ hours in which Blanche lost her main and mizzen masts. One and a quarter hours in, Pique ran her bow on board Blanche, making her unable to bring any of her guns to bear on Blanche and (once the English crew had rapidly lashed the French ship's bowsprit to the remains of Blanche's main mast) unable to manoeuvre. Faulknor was wounded by an initial musket shot, but continued to direct the action until around 3am when a second musket shot struck his heart and killed him. Lieutenant Frederick Watkins took over command. Two hours later at 5am the Pique surrendered. Faulknor was buried the day after his death 6 January 1795 on the Isles des Saintes. There is a memorial to him within St Paul's Cathedral."
The engraving was made by British printmaker John Rogers (1808-1888) as per a note in the lower right
It is after an oil painting by the great British painter Thomas Stothart (1755-1834) as indicated in the lower left
The scene is surrounded by intricate Marginalia, including botanical patterns and vignettes, one of which displays "The Blanche with La Pique in Tow". Above the scene is a cannon
