Howe

A half-length portrait of Richard Howe, Earl Howe (1726–1799) in in admiral’s full-dress uniform, 1795–1812, with his right hand tucked in his waistcoat. Lettered beneath the image with a facsimile of the sitter’s signature. This print was published as an illustration in Joseph Allen, ‘Battles of the British Navy from A.D. 1000 to 1840’ (London: A. H. Baily & Co., 1842), volume 1, opposite page 356. The portrait is after Gainsborough Dupont’s full-length oil painting of 1794 in the Trinity House, London. (Updated June 2019.)
