TWO ENGRAVINGS FROM THE SERIES "THE SIEGE OF HAVANA IN 1762" LONDON ENGRAVING, 18" X 26" TO THE PLATE MARK. FRAMED 21" X 29".TWO ENGRAVINGS FROM THE SERIES "THE SIEGE OF HAVANA IN 1762", London, Plate V, "This Perspective View of the Landing and Marching the Troops along the Shore towards the Fort Cojimar between the Hours of One and Three in the Afternoon of June 7th 1762." and Plate [?], "This Perspective View of the Order of Sailing and Conducting His Majesty's Ships of War and Transports...". After Dominic Serres (United Kingdom, 1722-1793). James Mason (United Kingdom, c. 1710-1785), engraver. Philip Orsbridge (United Kingdom, c. 1764-65), publisher, London. Dimensions: Engraving, 18" x 26" to the plate mark. Framed 21" x 29". Provenance: Property of India House, New York.Note:From a series of twelve prints documenting the Siege of Havana in 1762, the last major operation of the Seven Years War. The Siege of Havana was prompted by Spain's entry into the War in support of France. The British government retaliated by attacking Spanish overseas possessions, including an amphibious attack on Havana, beginning in March 1762. One print shows the shore landing and marching of troops toward Fort Cojimar on June 7. The other shows the assembly of the fleet. Both views based on drawings from eyewitness sketches made during these events by Lieutenant Philip Orsbridge, who had served at Havana. Orsbridge engaged P.C. Canot and James Mason to engrave them as a set of a total of twelve prints, which he published. British forces captured Havana in August and dealt a serious blow to the Spanish Navy. Havana was later returned to Spain under the 1763 Treaty of Paris that ended the Seven Years War.
