A full-length portrait of Sir John Borlase Warren (1753–1822) in rear-admiral’s full-dress uniform, 1795–1812, with the sash of the Order of the Bath. Warren stands by the sea with plumes of smoke behind him and a ship on the right. This print was engraved by James Stow after an original portrait by Samuel Drummond, possibly the portrait of Sir John Borlase Warren exhibited which Drummond exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1798. The present location of Drummond’s painting is not known. John Borlase Warren studied at Winchester College, before joining the navy in 1771. His naval service alternated with studies at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, where he graduated BA in 1773 and proceeded MA in 1776. He was created a baronet on 1 June 1775 and promoted post-captain in 1781. During the French Revolutionary Wars, he hoisted a commodore’s broad pennant in the ‘Pomone’, 44 guns, and commanded a frigate squadron in the Channel. In 1794, he was appointed a Knight Companion of the Order of the Bath and, in 1796, his squadron destroyed or captured more than 220 vessels, thirty-six of which were armed. For this service, he was presented by Lloyd’s Patriotic Fund with a sword worth 100 guineas. He was promoted rear-admiral in 1799. The Caird Archive at the National Maritime Museum holds a collection of Warren’s personal papers (see WAR in the Archive Catalogue). Samuel Drummond served in the Royal Navy before abandoning his seagoing career to become an artist. He was a prolific exhibitor at the Royal Academy, where he usually showed historical subjects and portraits of naval officers. (Updated April 2019.)
