Edward Orme (1775-1848) (print seller and publisher), Published & Sold June 4. 1809. by Edward Orme, Printseller to the King, Engraver & Publisher Bond Street, corner of Brook S.t London. Matthew Dubourg (1779-1863) (engraver). From a Drawing made on the Spot brought by Capt.n Lydard Engraved by M. Dubourg This view shows the British ships, flying the White Ensign, under the command of Captain Charles Brisbane (?1769-1829) entering the harbour of Curaçao (presumably at present-day Willemstad), being fired on from the surrounding Dutch forts which are flying the Dutch flag. The capture of the island of Curaçao from the Dutch by a small British force after a short confrontation between the two forces, earned Brisbane a knighthood, and the captains swords, medals and vases. Charles Brisbane was knighted after this action. The Anson, and Captain Lydiard, bearing the sketches from which this print was made, returned to Britain soon afterwards.
