Lot of 2 British copperplate engravings entitled "A Machine to Prevent a Ship's driving on a Lee-Shore in a Storm" by Mr. Willm Boorn of Portsmouth (ca. 1810) and "DIVING BELLS" by J. Shury (publ. by Thomas Tegg, London, 1827), both matted for framing (blue). 12-1/2" x 9-1/2" (image size 8-1/2" x 5-1/2") and 10-3/4" x 8-1/4" (image size 7" x 4-3/4"). The former is a detailed scene of a ship in distress using an anchor-like contraption to avoid wrecking, while the latter is a series of figures illuminating the functions of various diving bells, both in excellent undamaged condition.
