Grenada was a British colony at the time and came within the jurisdiction of the North America and West Indies Station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery little has been written about Turner, with the following text being from the UK Government’s Art Collection: “Captain Henry A. Turner’s company of the first battalion of the Royal Artillery landed at Barbados on the Atholl troop ship early in 1849. The ‘lady of Captain Turner’ gave birth to a daughter on the neighbouring island of Grenada on 16 July that year. It was not until 1853 that another company of the Royal Artillery arrived at Barbados to release Turner’s company. In 1858 Turner presented two watercolour views of Grenada to the Royal Artillery Institution. Captain Henry may be Henry Austin Turner, who rose through the ranks of the Royal Artillery to become Lieutenant Colonel in 1855 and Major-General on his retirement in 1865. Henry Austin died at Bath in 1875 at the age of 60.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepicting St George and its harbour from the hills behind, these four-section panoramas were produced at the same time as two other views in Grenada, which were subsequently published as hand coloured lithographs by Ackermann \u0026amp; Co., London in 1852.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Maggs Bros.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67899639562549,"sku":"263777","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0669\/0045\/9677\/files\/263777_01.png?v=1792641705","url":"https:\/\/store.maggs.com\/products\/two-fine-panoramic-views-grenada-4bbdaokk","provider":"Maggs Bros.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
