If you are looking for a certain person from history... religious, political, military  just ask. I have many engravings I still have to post.

A educated buyer is a smarter consumer. All of my prints and steel engravings are genuine. They were all made many years ago, not a modern day knock off printed on super clean new stock paper. In all my years dealing with engravings, all have some sort of blemish... foxing ( paper with brown spots ), not centered on the page is common. Some have finger prints with ink from the printer that made the engraving. I stand behind every item I sell as a genuine, OLD engraving. If you have any questions for me, please ask.
   I ship all engravings and prints with carefully wrapped two layers of stiff cardboard, wrapped in plastic to keep clean and DRY.

“Humanity cannot but recoil from the prospect of such finished horror…” – John Paul Jones, in a letter to Benjamin Franklin, 3 October 1779

 While the American victory over HMS Serapis in 1779 is one that many historians have extolled, John Paul Jones himself soberly recounted the decisive encounter as reflected by his statement to Benjamin Franklin just weeks after the bloody battle concluded. Yet this 1858 engraving, after the original Alonzo Chappel painting depicting Jones on the deck of Bonhomme Richard as he fires his pistol to repel British boarders as sailors from both vessels fight back and forth across the two warships’ rails in the moonlit night, demonstrates the continued interest in Jones’ naval exploits by American audiences over 50 years after the close of the American Revolution.  

 

When the ferocious battle was over, First Lt. Richard Dale led the boarders from Bonhomme Richard to Serapis after the British flag had been lowered in surrender. The three-and-a-half-hour, close-range cannon, and small arms duel between Bonhomme Richard and Serapis left some 300 casualties. Lt. Dale, surveying the grisly aftermath of the battle was shocked to find the remains of the Serapis crew completely scorched, still at their guns.
