James Wolfe (1727-59) was a General. He was sent to capture Quebec and so to end French rule in Canada. Wolfe achieved success by discovering a steep unguarded patch which enabled him to land his troops unobserved; he led the attack on the Plains of Abraham above Quebec, but died of wounds before he could enter the city. This plaster cast by Joseph Wilton is posthumous; stated to be based on a servant of Lord Gower's who was very like Wolfe. Wilton found the hero's face 'too much distorted' when his coffin was opened at Portsmouth.   This object is part of "Scan The World".
