Seller's Description

Original 1804 7 3/4 inch x 5 inch Engraving Titled HANNAH SNELL - THE FEMALE SOLDIER
Portrait; half length, to the right, in male attire, with cocked hat, black ribbon tied at neck over cravat, and stick under left arm, visible behind back; looking at viewer.
On 2 June 1750, in a local London pub, a young marine stunned his fellow soldiers by announcing that 'he' was really a woman in disguise. For over two years Hannah Snell had concealed her true sex while serving in a regiment of the Royal Marines. She had sailed to India through great storms and fought in mud-filled trenches at the siege of Pondicherry. She claims to have been severely injured in the battle.

Engraved by G. Scott
Published by R.S. Kirby, London House Yard, August 30th, 1804 for ”The Wonderful and Scientific Museum: Or, Magazine of Remarkable Characters; Including All the Curiosities of Nature and Art, from the remotest period to the present Time”.

Image size 5 1/8 inch x 3 5/8 inch
