Painted by Robert Dodd, it showcases the British navy's triumph over the combined forces of France and Spain during the Napoleonic War. In this vividly colored engraving, we witness a scene filled with chaos and heroism. The Union Jack flag proudly flutters atop British ships as they engage in fierce combat with their adversaries.
