To the Immortal Memory of...Nelson...This Representation of the Commencement of the Engagement with the Combined... Fleets off Cape Trafalgar on the 21st Oct 1805...is inscribed...
Hand-coloured and one of a set of three, PAI5438 (PAI6132 being another copy), PAI6134 and PAI6144. These were all issued by Wigley, presumably the original publisher. See their related 'key' print, PAI7813 for details. However PAI5440 and PAI 5441 are apparently reissues by Fairburn, who also issued a matching plate of Strachan's post-Trafalgar mop-up action of 4 November 1805 (PAI5439). [PvdM 7/07]
