We offer an engraving from the French edition of Thomas Anburey’s Travels
Through the Interior Parts of America. The image is 6 ¾”x 8 ¾” printed on
handmade laid paper measuring 7 ½” x 9”. It is inscribed along the top margin:
“Vue dun Moulin a Scie et d’une Redoute Situes sur la Crique du Fort Anne
appartenant au General Skeene” and “Les Americans y mirent le Feu a l’approche
de l’Armee Burgoyne” along the bottom under the image. The engraving depicts a
lumberyard and block house along the shores of a creek at Fort Anne. In English
versions of the engraving the text reads “A view of a saw mill and block house
upon Fort Anne Creek ...which on Gen. Burgoyne's army advancing was set fire to
by the Americans”
