F.B.
Spilsbury was the surgeon on board the H.M.S. Tigre, which
with
the H.M.S. Theseus, under the command of Commodore Sir Sydney Smith,
were sent on a naval mission to the Holy Land and Syria. The operation
was launched as part of the overall mission to counter the military
campaigns of Napoleon in the Middle East in 1799 and 1800.
Spilsbury's original on-site sketches of famous sites and local peoples
were redrawn in London by Daniel Orme. They were etched in aquatint by
Joseph Constantine Stadler, a prolific engraver, who worked in London
and created works after some of the leading artists of the day,
including J.F.W. Turner. Edward Orme, the publisher, was a London
artist and printseller, serving as engraver to King George III from
1799 to 1820, and to the Prince of Wales (later King George IV) from
1817 to 1830.
