"Moors on Board the Swiftsure" is an engraving by Joseph Constantine Stadler, a prominent aquatint engraver active in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The work was published in 1801 by I. White in London and is based on an original illustration by Cooper Willyams, an artist known for his depictions of naval scenes and landscapes. The engraving is part of a series that visually documents the experiences and scenes encountered by the British Royal Navy during their voyages and battles.

The image captures a moment from the historic encounter between the British Royal Navy and the Moors, showcasing Moors aboard the HMS Swiftsure, a ship that played a significant role in the naval history of the period. The Swiftsure, launched in 1787, was a 74-gun third-rate ship of the line of the Royal Navy, and it participated in several significant battles, including the Battle of the Nile in 1798.

Stadler's engraving is noted for its fine detail and the skillful use of aquatint, a technique that allows for the creation of tonal effects and was relatively new at the time. The work is an important historical record, offering insight into the cultural and military interactions of the era, as well as the artistry involved in naval-themed prints. It reflects the broader interest in ethnographic and exotic subjects that was prevalent among European audiences in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

The collaboration between Cooper Willyams, the artist who provided the original drawing, and Joseph Constantine Stadler, the engraver, resulted in a work that is both artistically significant and historically valuable. "Moors on Board the Swiftsure" stands as a testament to the era's artistic endeavors to capture the expanding horizons of the British Empire and the diverse peoples it encountered.
