Robert Gardiner 57376 - Fleet Battle and Blockade. The French Revolutionary War, 1793-1797

Booksales, 2004. Pp: 192. Forgetting the setbacks of the American Revolutionary War, in 1793 the Royal Navy embarked on an almost unprecedented era of victories at sea, producing a considerable appetite for pictures of every incident, great or small. A thriving trade in prints and engravings grew up, suplemented by watercolours and oils by celebrated artists. Besides these 'public' works, many officers - and indeed members of the lower deck - kept personal journals and sketchbooks, illustrated with surprisingly accomplished drawings and watercolours, often depicting the everyday aspects of wartime life at sea that were ignored in the more celebratory artistic media. These sources form a rich vein that have been barely touched in previous publications, but which this book uses to full effect. ISBN: 9781840673630. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
