1) "Admiral." Colored etching by J.A. Atkinson, pub. 1 January 1805 by Wm. Miller, London, 13 ¾ x 10 3/8 in. John A. Atkinson (1775-1861) specialized in military and genre subjects and his colored etchings of naval dress are among the most prized, as they are accurate depictions taken from life by a talented observer, rather than stereotypical caricatures of ‘Jack Tar’ as found in most of the popular prints and cartoons of the period. 2) [British Heavy Dragoon].
