EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history through the intimate correspondence between Lord Horatio Nelson and Lady Emma Hamilton. Dated 19th October 1805, just two days before the Battle of Trafalgar, this letter from Admiral Nelson was written aboard his ship, the Victory. In it, he informs Lady Emma that the enemy's combined fleet is preparing to set sail and expresses his hope to survive long enough to finish writing. The postscript added on the eve of battle, 20th October, adds an element of poignancy to this piece. Although the British emerged victorious in the battle, Nelson himself was wounded and tragically passed away soon after. This letter serves as a testament to their deep connection amidst turbulent times. Displayed in vibrant colors and showcasing Nelson's distinctive handwriting, this facsimile offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era. The print collector has expertly preserved this historical artifact for future generations to appreciate. Beyond its historical significance, this image also conveys themes of love and devotion amidst war. It reminds us that even during tumultuous periods in history, human connections remain steadfast. Created by Horatio Nelson himself alongside Lady Emma Hamilton as its recipient, this print invites us into their world at a pivotal moment in time. It stands as both an artistic representation and a tangible link to one of Britain's greatest naval heroes and his beloved confidante.
