"Convicts Farewell (Black-eyed Sue and Sweet Poll of Plymouth take leave of their lovers who are bound for Botany Bay as transported convicts, 12th May 1794)" captures an emotional moment etched in history. The engraving from Laurie & Whittle showcases two iconic characters from sailors' sea shanties bidding farewell to their beloved partners. The landscape format beautifully frames the setting – a bustling port town with ships ready to embark on treacherous voyages.
