AFTER BENJAMIN WEST, P. SOMEBODY. The Death of General Wolfe (September 13, 1759)

The Death of General Wolfe (September 13, 1759). Artist: P. Somebody (British, 18th century); After Benjamin West (American, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania 1738-1820 London). Dimensions: plate: 6 7/8 x 8 3/4 in. (17.5 x 22.2 cm)
sheet: 10 1/16 x 12 5/8 in. (25.5 x 32 cm). Date: after 1776.
This unauthorized copy of West's "Death of Wolfe" was inspired by the success of William Woollett's large, expensive engraving published in January 1776--the original painting was exhibited in 1771, revolutionized how painters depicted significant contemporary events. The anonymous engraver here signs himself "P. Somebody" and signals the print's low cost by dedicating it to "Lovers of Little Things and Cheap-Buyers.".
