A C. 1809 ETCHING, BRITISH NAVAL OFFICER DUELING TURKISH SOLDIER, ANGLO-TURKISH WAR, NAPOLEONIC WARS - An early 19th century etching depicting a British Royal Navy Officer dueling a Turkish soldier amidst the bodies of their comrades. Another soldier can be seen hiding with a sword in his hand, peeking out from behind a ruinous wall. In the far distance, under the crossed rapiers of the duelers, is another Englishman, apparently running for his life. This appears to be a scene from the Anglo-Turkish War of 1807-1809, one of the many theaters of the Napoleonic Wars, which resulted in a British victory and the signing of the Treaty of the Dardanelles.
