Museum). Because of his independent income he was able to turn his travels into a living. He had earlier published "Travels through Spain, 1775 and 1776" (1779).(DNB)**Engraver PETER MAZELL (active 1761-1797) was the child of Irish Hugenots who came to work in London by 176, and made many of the copper plate engravings from the Author Swinburne's original watercolors. He was a notable artist himself, and a Fellow of the Society of Artists from 1772, but made his career on interpreting landscapes, travel and natural history subjects for others. He provided engravings for, among others, Capt. James Cooks "Voyages" in the 1780's (see prints in British Museum) **PROVENANCE: GRANVILLE HASTINGS WHELER, (1701-1770) is perhaps best remembered as a clergyman and amateur scientist who, with his friend Stephen Gray, conducted experiments with electricity, in imitation of the work of Benjamin Franklin, at his house, Otterden Place, near Charing, Kent. He was later elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1728, and published his findings on the repulsive power of electricity in "The Philosophical Transactions" of 1729. (DNB). He took after his father, Sir George Wheler (1650-1723) who became canon of Durham Cathedral, in joining the church and writing about his travels. Wheler's father published "A Journey into Greece" in 1682 (ESTC R9388), highlighting relatively yet-unexplored destinations, and the work was translated into French. (DNB) **REF: ESTC T127398.

Copper engraving. Printed on laid paper. In excellent condition. A rare early view of the Cohoes Falls on the Mohawk River in New York, by Thomas Davies one of the first surveyors to draw North America and Canada. Thomas Davies was born in England, but he spent the majority of his life in service in America and Canada. His distinguished career saw him through two wars and many uncharted lands, and his topographical drawings of Northern America and Canada remain some of the most important visual records of these territories. In 1755 he entered the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich as a gentleman cadet in the artillery. At this time topographical drawing was part of every officer's training, and under the tutelage of Gamaliel Massiot, Davies learnt to master the art. Davies differed from many of his contemporaries in that; drawing became for him not merely a necessary military skill, but an art to be pursued. During his military career Davies made hundreds of topographical sketches that are not only a record of an uncharted land, but true works of art. He first came to the Americas during the French and Indian wars under General Amherst's command. He participated in the assault on Louisbourg, the expedition against Ticonderoga, and the capture of Montreal. During the Revolutionary War, Davies was stationed in New York and participated in many of the skirmishes in the surrounding areas. Throughout his dedicated career Davies could always be seen with a pencil in his hand, on every expedition he explored the surrounding territories and recorded their mysteries in simple yet compelling drawings. This early print, published in 1768, after Davies' drawing is an important piece of American and Canadian history and it allows us a glimpse at a forgotten land long changed by the passage of time.
