A half-length portrait to left of John Jervis, Earl of St Vincent (1752–1820) in admiral’s undress uniform, 1795–1812, with the star of the Order of the Bath. Lettered beneath the image with a facsimile of the sitter’s signature and the production and publication details: ‘Sir W. Beechey R.A. / W. Jackman. / Engraved for the Naval & Military Almanac, 1840.’ This print was engraved in 1840 for E. H. Maxwell (ed.), ‘The Naval and Military Almanac’ (London: A. H. Baily & Co., 1840), July, opposite page 30, alongside a biography of the sitter. The portrait was engraved by W. Jackman after John Keenan’s oil painting of 1801, which now known through William Barnard’s mezzotint engraving (see PAG9341). The inscription on the print mistakenly states that the portrait is after William Beechey. (Updated June 2019.)
