EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Richard Kempenfelt, an extraordinary English naval officer of Swedish descent. Born in 1718, Kempenfelt rose to the rank of Rear Admiral in 1780 and commanded HM ships during the Seven Years War (1756-1763) in the East Indies. His dedication and strategic brilliance earned him a prominent place in British naval history. Tragically, Kempenfelt's life was cut short when his flagship, HMS Royal George, capsized off Spithead. This engraving captures his noble countenance as portrayed by Tilly Kettle, immortalizing his legacy for generations to come.

As an accomplished sailor and leader within the British Navy, he exemplified courage and determination on every mission he undertook.

It stands as a testament to Kempenfelt's unwavering commitment to duty until his untimely demise.
