Ansons Voyages :- At the beginning of the war with Spain and France in 1740, George Anson was given charge of a squadron of six ships with the rank of commodore and ordered to the Pacific to attack Spanish possessions and to capture one of the Acapulco treasure ships. Anson's second lieutenant on the 'Centurion' during the voyage round the world, 1740-44, was Piercy Brett whose drawings were engraved for the official account of the voyage. They demonstrate the concerns of naval officers in making such drawings, in particular the precise delineation of landfall which Brett often annotates with a key. They are some of the earliest accurate depictions of South America. George Anson, first baron Anson, a commodore in the British Royal Navy, set sail on a circumnavigation in 1740.  Anson made a successful attack on Paita in November 1741. These were all eventally published 1747-8 as A voyage round the world, in the years MDCCXL, I, II, III, IV.
