 Louisbourg Captured, 1758. B.403, MI.411. Unsigned. Copper. 40.8 mm. 218.3 gns. Bust right of Admiral Boscawen; fanciful view of the siege. About Uncirculated. This is about the nicest we have handled. The capture of Fortress Louisbourg gave control of the St. Lawrence River to the British. The fall of Quebec and Montreal were thereafter inevitable.
Ex Wayte Raymond Estate.
