EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Sir Charles Napier's victory off Cape St Vincent on 5 July 1833. Created by artist DJ Pound, this detailed engraving showcases the intense naval battle that took place during the Portuguese civil war in the 19th century. The scene depicts a dramatic clash between several ships, each with their own distinct flags and armaments. From left to right, we see Don Pedro with its impressive 48 guns, followed by Rainha de Portugal under Napier's flag with 46 guns. The powerful Rainha stands tall with its mighty 72 guns while Don Joao VI proudly flies its flag alongside its formidable arsenal of 74 guns. Completing the formation are Prince Sa Real with 22 guns and Dona Maria Isabell armed with 24 guns. Lieutenant Colonel William Freke Williams provides historical context for this artwork in his book Englands Battles by Sea and Land. Published in London in 1857, it offers a comprehensive account of significant battles throughout history. Through this striking image, we are transported back to a time when naval warfare was at its peak. The vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean serves as a backdrop to this fierce confrontation between British forces led by Admiral Napier and their adversaries from Portugal. This print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an important historical document that commemorates one of Sir Charles Napier's notable victories at sea.
