Aquatint engraving finished by hand in watercolour. Sheet size: 24 3/4 x 18 3/4 inches. Matted and accompanied by text leaf. Priscilla Bury's stunning depiction of the plant Amaryllis superba, expertly engraved by Robert Havell, showcases her botanical skill and the vibrant beauty of this striking plant. Priscilla Bury, a self-taught botanical artist, grew up surrounded by the plants she so meticulously sketched in her family's greenhouses in Liverpool. This print of Amaryllis superba exemplifies her commitment to capturing the beauties of a genus known for its vibrant blooms and tropical origins. Originally intending to have her work lithographed, Burys A Selection of Hexandrian Plants was later entrusted to the esteemed engraver Robert Havell, who brought her detailed watercolors to life through vibrant hand-finished plates, much as he did for Audubons Birds of America. Havells masterful use of aquatint further elevates the exquisite structure and vibrant hues of the Amaryllis superba, showcasing both the delicacy and grandeur of this plant. As exemplified by the present print, Bury's collaboration with Havell produced some of the finest botanical illustrations of the period.

Pair of color printed aquatints, with hand-coloring, engraved by R. and D. Havell. Lovely pair of color aquatints depicting a naval battle between the British and French in the Adriatic Sea during the Napoleonic Wars. A pair of engravings from a suite of hand-colored plates recounting the Battle of Lissa on March 13, 1811. "The Battle of Lissa (sometimes called the Battle of Vis; French: Bataille de Lissa; Italian: Battaglia di Lissa; Croatian: Vika bitka) was a naval action fought between a British frigate squadron and a larger squadron of French and Italian frigates and smaller ships on 13 March 1811 during the Adriatic campaign of the Napoleonic Wars. The engagement was fought in the Adriatic Sea for possession of the strategically important island of Lissa (also known as Vis), from which the British squadron had been disrupting French shipping in the Adriatic. The French needed to control the Adriatic to supply a growing army in the Illyrian Provinces, and consequently dispatched an invasion force in March 1811 consisting of six frigates, numerous smaller craft and a battalion of Italian soldiers. The French invasion force under Bernard Dubourdieu was met by Captain William Hoste and his four ships based on the island. In the subsequent battle, Hoste sank the French flagship, captured two others, and scattered the remainder of the Franco-Venetian squadron. The battle has been hailed as an important British victory, due to both the disparity between the forces and the signal raised by Hoste, a former subordinate of Horatio Nelson. Hoste had raised the message "Remember Nelson" as the French bore down, and had then manoeuvred to drive Dubourdieu's flagship ashore and scatter his squadron in what has been described as "one of the most brilliant naval achievements of the war."
