c. 1750 Mezzotint Engraved Print Robert Monckton

Item Details

Description

Colonial America
c. 1750 “The Hon’ble Robert Monckton” Engraved Print
c. 1750s, Historical Mezzotint Engraved Print, “The Hon’ble Robert Monckton, Brigadier General, Governor of Anapoli, Lieut. Gov. of Nova Scotia, and Colonel of His Majesty’s 17th Regt. of Foot.,” engraved by James McArdell, Framed, Choice Extremely Fine.
This lovely fine quality impressive Mezzotint Engraved Print of “The Hon’ble Robert Monckton, Brigadier General, Governor of Anapoli, Lieut. Gov. of Nova Scotia, and Colonel of His Majesty’s 17th Regt. of Foot.” measures 11” x 16” (by sight), and is wood Framed in modern black with gold inlay to an overall size of 13.5” x 18.25” not examined outside of frame. This outstanding quality image After an original painting by the English artist Thomas Hudson, and engraved by James McArdell. At the beginning outbreak of the Revolutionary War in 1775, General Robert Monckton was offered a military commission by the King to return to America, but he refused to take up arms against the Colonies!

This Mezzotint is a print made from an engraved copper or steel plate on which the surface has been partially roughened, for shading, and partially scraped smooth, giving light areas. The technique was much used in the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries for the reproduction of paintings. This historic example is an exceptional, very clean well executed fine printed impression from the Colonial Era. Of “museum” quality and ready to hang on display.
Robert Monckton (1726-1782) was one of the most prominent British officers to participate in the wars against France in North America and Canada. He sailed to Nova Scotia in 1752 and took command of Fort Lawrence. After capturing Fort Beausejour, he became Acting Governor of Nova Scotia in the absence of Charles Lawrence. He led a battalion at the siege of Louisburg and was second in command to General Wolfe at the capture of Quebec.

In 1760 Monckton seized the rich sugar island of Martinique from French control. This victory was considered one of the crowning points of his military career, since Martinique was a lucrative prize and one of France’s most important slave trading bases. Following his success in the Caribbean, Monckton became commander of British forces in Pennsylvania and in 1761 was appointed Governor of New York.

In 1763 he returned to England and was made Governor of Berwick-on-Tweed and Governor of Portsmouth. He was offered a commission to return to America at the beginning of the Revolutionary War, but he refused to take up arms against the Colonies!
