WILSON, Lieut.-Col. J. (fl. 1819), artist and William DANIELL (1769-1837), engraver

A view of the town of St. George & Richmond Heights in the island of Grenada taken from the Bay. [With:] – A view of the town of St. George in the island of Grenada taken from the pasture of the Belmont Estate. London: W.H. Timms, 1 November 1819.

Two very rare views of Grenada. J. Wilson is a common name, and we have been unable to trace the artist, although we note that one John Wilson (c. 1765-1819; Lieutenant Governor of Lower Canada in 1816), was a Lieutenant-Colonel in the 8th West India Regiment in 1798. Not in Bobins or in any other bibliography that we are aware of.



Oblong folio (430 x 640mm). 2 contemporary hand-coloured aquatints after J. Wilson by W. Daniell, one watermarked 1818, the other ‘Turkey Mill / J. Whatman / 1819’ (paper evenly toned, some small remains of mounting tape at top margin on verso). Modern morocco-backed blue cloth, morocco gilt lettering piece to upper cover (one corner bumped).
