Begun in what is now western Pennsylvania with a battle involving a young Virginia officer named George Washington, this conflict waxed and waned in an arch running from that western wilderness, through the Great Lakes, over to Lakes George and Champlain, and as far north as the River and Gulf of St. Lawrence. When the fighting was finished and the Treaty of Paris signed, France had lost all her possessions in North America and Britain was mistress of the entire region extending from the entire Atlantic coast to the Mississippi River.

Benjamin West. "The Death of General Wolfe." London(?), ca. 1800. Engraving and stipple by Augustin LeGrand. 16 1/2 x 22 1/2. Trimmed to just outside platemark. Some minor nicks and short tears at edges, but otherwise very good condition.
Another print of West's important scene, this issued around the turn of the century. This rare print is by French engraver Augustin LeGrand, and though not published in London, it was certainly intended for the British market. The quality of the engraving is very high, making this a fine and rare example of West's seminal image. $2,500
