An unattributed engraving of "The Death of General Wolfe." The engraving depicts twelve soldiers and one Native American in the foreground of a battlefield, surrounding the dying General James Wolfe. A crowd of mournful soldiers stands in the background. The engraving appears to be a copy either of a well-known one executed by William Woollett or of an original painting by Benjamin West.
