AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR HISTORICAL PRINTS, LOT OF THREE, each engraving printed on laid paper, comprising The Unfortunate Death of Major Andre engraved by John Goldar (English, 1729-1795) for Barnard's "New Complete & Authentic History of England"; and two hand-colored engravings by Francois Xavier Habermann (German, 1721-1796) with one depicting the destruction of King George's royal statue in New York, and the other being a fancifully-imagined scene intended to depict the Great Fire of New York on September 19th 1776 during the early days of British occupation. Housed under glass in modern frames. Fourth quarter 18th century. Smallest (Major Andre): 8 1/2" x 12 1/2" sight, 12 3/4" x 15 3/4" OA; largest: 16 3/4" x 12 1/2" sight, 18 1/2" x 14" OA.
Catalogue Note: Both of the Habermann engravings are titled in reverse, in order to be read correctly when viewed through the lenses and mirrors of a "magic lantern" or "Vue D'Optique".

Condition

"Major Andre" excellent with some short creases and light toning along right edge; "Great Fire" very good with moderate overall even toning and visible losses to corners; "Royal Statue" good with light toning but having been cut down to the size of the plate. Not examined out of frames.
