The Epilogue to Trafalgar: The Capture of the Duguay-Trouin
Framed and glazed black/white reproduction of a painting by Harold Wyllie showing action at the Battle of Trafalgar 1805. The caption on the mount states: 'The EPILOGUE to TRAFALGAR: The capture of the "DUGUAY-TROUIN". In the left foreground the "DUGUAY-TROUIN'S" masts fall by by the board as she is in the act of striking her flag. Looming through the smoke under her lee is the British 80 gun ship "CAESAR", while the "HERO" engages the "DUGUAY-TROUIN from to windward.' On the reverse of the frame is: 'No 5 slide' written in black.
