The Brave Capt Tyrrill in the Buckingham of 66 Guns & 472 Men defeating the Florissant, Aigrette & Atlante, three French Ships of War, the 3rd of Novr 1758...

Hand-coloured.; Technique includes engraving. The Buckingham is shown in the centre foreground. This is the best of the engravings in the National Maritime Museum, of Swaine's picture. Engravings by J.Smith, Goldar and P.Benazech are less good. Although the last, by Benazech, is larger and therefore in some ways more clear.
