'No.1 / Forming line ahead'

Numbered and inscribed by the artist, as title. It is one of a group of four (PAE1035-PAE1038) showing battleships of the 'King Edward VII' class during squadron evolutions in the period 1907-09, while serving in the Channel Fleet. The set, each within a ruled frame, was probably made for illustration use. This image is of the flagship, 'King Edward VII' herself, leading the squadron as it forms line ahead. Armoured cruisers are on the right.
