Engraving by William Woollett after West's painting of the Death of General Wolfe - published January 1776 by Woollett, Boydell and Ryalnd in London. In original condition on canvas with wooden stretcher. Size overall 20 by 25 inches. Its frame was, believe me, too far gone to keep can be dramatically re-framed. Ageing and damage as seen in sixth photo but no paper loss and would restore and lay with little trouble. price includes postage to UK address.

James Wolfe (2 January 1727 – 13 September 1759) was a British Army officer, known for his training reforms and remembered chiefly for his victory in 1759 over the French at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham in Quebec as a major general.Wolfe's part in the taking of Quebec in 1759 earned him lasting fame, and he became an icon of Britain's victory in the Seven Years' War and subsequent territorial expansion. He was depicted in the painting The Death of General Wolfe, which became famous around the world. Wolfe was posthumously dubbed "The Hero of Quebec", "The Conqueror of Quebec", and also "The Conqueror of Canada", since the capture of Quebec led directly to the capture of Montreal, ending French control of the country.
