Nelson's Favorite Portrait of Himself

Animals fighting in the wild Nelson's Favorite Portrait of Himself - that is the thing that the history books record of this representation by Simon de Koster, finished at some point somewhere around 1798 and 1801. De Koster outlined Nelson when they were both visitors at a supper gathering and Nelson obviously prized it most importantly different resemblances - demonstrating he was not a vain man. Amid the Trafalgar 200 festivals this year it was uncanny to hold this photo up in our display next to a young lady who was something like the immense awesome incredible extraordinary niece of Nelson, and the similarity was uncanny. We prescribe surrounding this in a round mount.

Animals fighting in the wild Trafalgar Battle Plan, a mainstream print from around 1812 which we have duplicated. This uncovers the condition of the fight a couple of minutes before the scene in your Steven Dews picture. HMS Victory took after by the "battling" HMS Temeraire is at the leader of the left-hand section of British boats, which had been cruising for some extensive time into the teeth of the French and Spanish broadsides without having the capacity to flame back - subsequently the gaps in the sails in the Dews picture. In the French line, Just to one side of where HMS Victory's segment is pointing, is the French leader Bucentaure, and behind it the Redoutable. When we achieve the snippet of Steven Dews' photo, HMS Victory has cut in the middle of them and is conveying an overwhelming broadside into the stern and down the length of Bucentaure. Minutes after the fact, a shot from high up on Redoubtable (behind HMS Victory in the Dews picture) hits down Lord Nelson with a deadly twisted. HMS Temeraire fills the right forefront of the Dews picture.
