The Director coming up and commencing her fire on the Vyrheid larboard quarter 11 October 1797
Signed by artist and dated. This appears to be another etched-outline version of PAI1494 of which the title is currently given as 'This Plate of His Majestys Ship Director coming up & beginning her fire on the Larboard Quarter of the Vreyheid is humbly inscribed to Captn Willm Bligh, Officers &c'. Whether the title above is a variant MS one by Owen remains to be checked. The original image of which both are replic variants is now NMM ZBA8791, acquired with the other two of the set in December 2018. [PvdM 12/18]
