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,
