Old Naval Prints by Grace Galleries of Harpswell Maine

Hand Painted Aquatints After Original Oils by Thomas Whitcombe

These prints are from a collection of original hand-colored aquatints published by James Jenkins in 1817. This collection is considered one of the most important artistic studies of British Naval history ever published providing an outstanding visual account of the greatest naval engagements of the Napoleonic era.

These pieces were painted by Thomas Whitcombe (1752-1824), an eminent marine artist who exhibited at the British Institution and the Royal Academy and whose works are currently represented at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, England.

Each item is accompanied by facsimile copies of the title page to the collection and copies of the related dispatches sent by the victorious British naval commanders to the British Admiralty in London, which summarized the various engagements.
