"The Death of General Wolfe", Etching after Benjamin West, laid on vellum
About the Item

Etching after Benjamin West's 1770 painting "The Death of General Wolfe" commemorating the Battle of Quebec in 1759 in which General James Wolfe died in the moment of victory.
Published by the Klauber brothers, Augsburg.
Print shows Gen. James Wolfe, lying mortally wounded on field, surrounded by soldiers and a Native, during the siege of Quebec in 1759.
