EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Colossal Statue of Lord Nelson, created by the skilled hands of Mr. Milligan in 1850. The statue was commissioned by Lord Frederick Fitzclarence for a monument eighteen feet high, intended to be erected on Southsea-common near Portsmouth. Lord Nelson, a celebrated British naval hero, stands tall and proud in his full Admiral's uniform, complete with the iconic telescope slung over his shoulder. The statue's intricate details, from the folds of his coat to the intricate design of his hat, are a testament to Milligan's masterful sculpting abilities. Lord Nelson, born Horatio Nelson, rose to prominence during the Napoleonic Wars, earning the title of Viscount Nelson in 1801. His victories at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 and the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801 are among his most famous accomplishments. This statue, along with the Colossal Statue of the Duke of Wellington, was meant to honor the greatest military and naval heroes of the age. The print, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, captures the essence of the Victorian era, with its focus on fashion, art, and the press. The print provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the world of naval warfare and the admiration for the heroes who shaped it. The statue remains a symbol of Britain's rich naval history and the enduring legacy of Lord Nelson.
