notes:
The British took forts Bourbon and Louis from the French. Fort Bourbon is at the top of the hill. Pigeon Island is at the entrace to the bay of Fort Royal.A noted topographer and artist, the Reverend Cooper was the son of a British naval commander. After attending Cambridge, he was ordained and contributed to "Topographical Miscellanies" before first going to sea as chaplain on the Boyne in 1793. The Boyne participated in the West Indies' action related to the war between England and France. In 1796, Willyams returned to London and published An account of that campaign. In 1802 he again set sail with Nelson's fleet.The monarchists on Martinique had invited British occupation in 1794, and the island remained under British control until 1802.The engraver is probably Samuel Alken, Senior, 1756-1815.This is the large paper edition.
