This artist painted detailed watercolours of life at sea and in the eastern Mediterranean around 1800. Look at scenes like *A Scene on board His Majesty’s Ship Swiftsure* from 1798, showing sailors off Alexandria, or *The first day’s attack on the Castle of Aboukir*, a battle drawing packed with tiny British and Russian boats. If you want to see how people drew water or farmed near Syria, try *Mode of drawing or raising water at a farm near Syracuse* or *Syria. Mode of Agriculture at the Foot of Mount Carmel*.
