Numbered and inscribed by the artist, as title. It is one of a group of four drawings (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. Here the 'King Edward VII', as flagship, is leading the column on the left and the 'Hindustan' that on the right. An armoured cruiser is on the extreme right. The flagship and two others in her line have torpedo-net booms extended.
