1. Title: "Gabriel Snodgrass: A Pioneering Shipbuilder and Surveyor to the East India Company (1719-1799)". This portrait depicts Gabriel Snodgrass (1719-1799), an accomplished shipbuilder and surveyor who made significant contributions to the maritime industry during the late 18th century. Snodgrass's expertise and dedication to his craft earned him the esteemed position of working for the prestigious East India Company. Born in England, Snodgrass's passion for shipbuilding and surveying began at a young age. He honed his skills through rigorous training and apprenticeships, eventually becoming a master craftsman in his field. His exceptional talent did not go unnoticed, and he was soon recruited by the East India Company to oversee the construction and maintenance of their formidable fleet of ships. Snodgrass's role as a shipbuilder and surveyor for the East India Company was pivotal during a time when the British Empire was expanding its global reach. His innovative designs and meticulous attention to detail ensured that the company's vessels were not only seaworthy but also efficient and effective in their trade missions. The autograph on this print, dated 1799, serves as a testament to Snodgrass's remarkable career. It is a poignant reminder of the man behind the ships that played a crucial role in shaping the world's economic and political landscape during the Age of Discovery. Gabriel Snodgrass's legacy extends beyond his professional achievements. His dedication to his craft and his contributions to the maritime industry continue to inspire generations of shipbuilders and surveyors. This portrait, with its historical significance and intriguing backstory, is a valuable addition to any collection of maritime history or early modern British history.
