'Nelson put on board his ship during a storm'
The drawing is the seventh of a group of 11 designs (out of 32 by Foster) for wood-engravings to illustrate the 1854 edition of Southey's 'Life of Nelson' published by David Bogue, London. The others, not all in necessarily finished form and not in chronological order, are PAE5373-PAE5383. This one (coloured in the print) shows Nelson, when a captain, being put on board the 'Albemarle' from Deal during a storm before sailing for Quebec and faces p. 41 in the book. Other images in the edition were done by Edward Duncan (10) or reproduced pictures by Richard Westall, Sir Thomas Lawrence and other uncredited but mostly identifiable sources.The title here is as published. For Foster's full contributions to the edition see PAE5373. [PvdM 9/15].
