EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic moment of Horatio Nelson boarding the San Josef during the Battle of Cape St Vincent on February 14th, 1797. Engraved by John Crew after the original painting in Greenwich Hospital Collection by George Jones, this historical artwork is a testament to Lord Nelson's bravery and leadership as a British Naval Commander. In this scene, we witness Lord Nelson amidst the chaos and intensity of battle, standing tall on the deck of San Josef. With his sword raised high, he epitomizes heroism and determination in the face of adversity. The rigging above him adds to the sense of urgency and action unfolding around him. The image showcases not only Nelson's courage but also highlights the valor and resilience exhibited by all sailors involved in this fierce confrontation. As they clash with their Spanish counterparts, each sailor fights valiantly for their respective nations. This print serves as a reminder of an important victory for Britain during this tumultuous period. It symbolizes both naval prowess and national pride while immortalizing Lord Nelson as one of history's greatest heroes. On loan to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich from a private collection, this engraving holds significant historical value. Its presence allows us to appreciate and honor those who fought bravely at sea during that fateful day in 1797.
