Description: | Lithograph illustration of John Langhorne's poem 'Affliction' (1766). H W Bunbury (1750-1811) amateur engraver and friend of Joshua Reynolds.
"H.W. Bunbury (1750-1811) amateur engraver and friend of Joshua Reynolds (see 'Journal of 18thC Studies' vol.9, 1975-6, pp29-30). Here illustrating John Langhorne's (1735-79) poem 'Affliction' (1766). The engraving is not related to Joseph Wright of Derby's painting of the subject which appeared six years later and although the quotation refers to the Seven Years War (1756-63) it is possible that the occasion for the publication was British defeat and the loss of the American colonies in 1783."
