Description: | Coloured engraving and aquatint. In 1814, marine painter Nicholas Pocock exhibited original watercolours for all four of the prints from this series at the Royal Watercolour Society in London. Explanatory text accompanied the watercolours and this is also included below the images on the printed versions. According to inscriptions on the printed versions, Pocock’s watercolours were painted ‘from a Sketch by Lieut. Buchanan’. Buchanan may have been a member of the crew aboard the 'Java' at the time of the battle, who made record sketches of the events. | Subjects: | flag USS 'Constitution' HMS 'Java' seascape/coastal scene ship frigate 1812 sea sail Anglo-American War | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Daniell Havell (Engraver) | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
