The engraving is from John Charnock's 'History of Marine Architecture' (London, 1802), Vol. III, p. 111. It is a simple, but detailed view of the port side of Glorioso, 74 guns, without her rigging. Glorioso, a Spanish man-of-war, was captured by His Majesty’s ship Russell, 80 guns, commanded by Captain Matthew Buckle. Before her capture, the Glorioso had already been engaged by the privateer King George, 32 guns. The Glorioso made off at the arrival of another of the “Royal Family” privateers, the Prince Frederick, who gave chase, as the King George had been disabled by her fight against her much larger opponent. It was then that the Russell approached, bound for home with only half a crew, many of whom were sick. Glorioso surrendered after a fierce five-hour fight. Russell was so short-handed that she had to send some of the many prisoners home in the privateers. (W. Laird Clowes, The Royal Navy – a history’, Vol. III, pp. 285-6)
