Captain Elliot’s Action against Thurot | James Macgovan and William Davie | 1780
Taxes incluses
A damaged warship occupies the left foreground, its torn sails and crowded deck set against a line of vessels exchanging fire. Smoke drifts across the water beneath a sky shaped by broad clouds, while a small boat brings the human scale of the engagement closer to the viewer. The print commemorates Captain John Elliot’s action against François Thurot in February 1760. The engraved lines retain the detail of rigging and waves, balancing the event’s narrative with the visual discipline of maritime printmaking.
