Description: This beautiful copper plate engraving is from Edward Barnard's History of England published by Alexander Hogg, London, 1783. At the Battle of the Saintes (12 April 1782), Resolution was in the centre of the line and saw heavy action. During the battle, one of Manners' arms was broken, and he was wounded in both legs, one so severely as to require amputation. Being of a strong constitution, it was hoped he might survive, and he was sent back to England aboard the frigate Andromache. However, tetanus set in, and he died on 23 April 1782 and was buried at sea. The Battle of the Saintes (known to the French as the Bataille de la Dominique), also known as the Battle of Dominica, was an important naval battle in the Caribbean between the British and the French that took place 9–12 April 1782. The British victory was considered their greatest over the French during the American Revolutionary War. This is an original copper plate engraving which is printed on one side only and measures 35 cm x 23 cm or 13" x 9". This is an original antique which is over 240 years old and was produced soon after the actual event itself.
