The photograph captures not only the grandeur of this proposed memorial but also provides insight into its historical significance. Above the allegorical scene, a detailed description offers further context, while lists of Nelson's numerous victories and rewards adorn its sides. This visual representation pays homage to his exceptional leadership during Britain's naval triumphs in the Napoleonic Wars. Located within Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this 19th-century artwork reflects both Charles Middleton's artistic prowess and England's admiration for their war hero.
