CC-N-0090.T.jpg

Uncolored etching with head (below) and stern (above) views of a ship, with no background. The head view shows three tiers of cannon and a figurehead of a man wearing a tricorn hat; the shading, especially on the hull, is poorly done and inconsistent. Artist attribution, title, and "London. Published as the Act directs. March 15, 1802. by John Sewell. Cornhill." all printed in lower margin.
Title indicates that this is a portrait of a specific ship, but her name is not given.
